Wildcats Top Performers:
- Two different student-athletes got their first career goals and points in general on the stat sheet as Fabian Perez recorded the eventual game-winner while Guilherme Mendes put the icing on the proverbial cake with a final stretch score.
- Perez picked up three points on the afternoon, putting the Cats ahead for good with his 57th minute bullseye and assisted on the next score that put some distance between the clubs.
- Mendes is now a perfect 1-for-1 in shot percentage, pushing one through the poles and past the keeper in the 81st minute for an unassisted milestone.
- Sergio Pita Martin cataloged the first goal of the game within nine minutes of kickoff, launching a match-high four shots with two on-target as well.
- Adrian Amoros Navarro recorded a point in his third consecutive game, tallying an assist on the first goal of the day.
- Shakeem Walters, the English striker, is starting to heat back up with his goal at 72:30, giving him back-to-back games with scores.
