Saints Shock The Vikings With 3-2 Victory At Home –Brandon Madsen added two more goals to increase his season total of 11 to tie the school record for most goals in a season and help power the Saints past the Vikings in a 3-2 victory at home. The Vikings applied the offensive pressure early and often against the Saints recording seven shots and two corner kicks compared to SMU's one shot in the first 25 minutes. Western Washington caught their first break of the match when a foul was called to Saint Martin's in the box, granting Anthony Dean, who was tied with Madsen with most goals scored in conference, a penalty kick. Dean converted on the opportunity to give his Vikings a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute.  However, it did not take long for the Saints to respond. In less than one minute after the PK goal, Sebastian Navarro worked the ball through multiple defenders down the near side, to set up a cross and find the right foot of Kyle Witzel, 10 yards out, who capitalized by putting the ball inside the near post to tie the match at 1-1. Witzel's goal was his third of the season and his 26th of his career. The Saints looked to gain the lead before going into halftime with a corner kick in 34th minute and shots from Witzel and Navarro that were blocked or missed wide. The score remained locked at 1-1 after the first half. Navarro led the Saints out of halftime with two shots, including a shot on goal in the 54th minute, along with a corner kick before SMU got their own break in the 57th minute. A foul was called on the Vikings in the box, bringing Brandon Madsen up with a PK attempt. Madsen went to the left of the keeper; however, his shot was blocked but bounced back to Madsen, who remained composed and lofted the ball over the keeper for his 10th goal the season and a 2-1 SMU lead. Western Washington equalized the match in the 75th minute when cross found Luke Olney, 10 yards out in the middle of the box for his third goal of the season. The Vikings continued the pressure, looking to steal three points on the road, with two corners and one shot in the following minutes after the goal. The Saints broke the pressure and pushed the ball down the pitch, forcing a corner in the 78th minute. Navarro's cross connected with Madsen's header to put the Saints up 3-2. Madsen tied his teammate Kyle Witzel's single-season goal record (11), which Witzel set last season. The Vikings attempted to once again equalize the match, and made multiple attempts on goal, including Dean's shot in the 89th minute that bounced off the crossbar. Griffin Small and Tim Teipel's defense held strong in the closing minutes to secure the 3-2 victory over Western Washington. "Today, we were tuned into the game and the boys' hard work and positive spirit really came forward," said head coach Rob Walker. "We have put our time in on the field, in the weight room and studying film. We were really good today in so many positions defensively: both down our spine and on the flanks.  Credit the Vikings for doing a good job of pressing with their front and midfield players and in their approach in attack. We have worked hard to address some issues and there was a real reward for us today. We are just so proud of the guys' effort and execution." Navarro led the Saints with four shots and two assists, while Madsen and Witzel combined for six shots, five on goal and three goals. McKray Kohn attempted one shot, which fell on target and assisted on Madsen's game-winning goal. Alexis Lopez and Cayman John each managed one shot. Griffin Small played all 90 minutes, recorded six saves on 20 shots faced, while allowing two goals to earn his first victory of the season.
 
Saints Battle Nationally Ranked Clan Until Final Minutes –After an equalizer from Brandon Madsen, who broke the single-season goal record, Simon Fraser squeezed by the Saints with a goal in the 77th minute in the pouring rain on Saturday. Saint Martin's dominated the early goings of the match, holding Simon Fraser to no shots until 38 minutes into the match, while the Saints fired off the first six shots of the game. The fifth shot came from Kyle Witzel who headed the ball on a play from Sebastian Navarro, 10 yards out straight to the keeper. Miguel Hof of Simon Fraser was unable to control the ball, letting the ball bounce back to Witzel who connected for a high shot and his fourth goal of the season. The Clan's offense, who averaged over 16 shots per match entering the week, failed to gain any edge over the Saints' defense until their first shot in the 38th minute of the half. After a corner and shot on goal for Simon Fraser, which was saved by Griffin Small, the Clan was awarded a penalty kick after a SMU foul in the box. Matteo Polisi capitalized on the opportunity and tied the match at 1-1, which the score remained entering halftime. Simon Fraser took the lead in the 64th minute after a cross from the near side connected with an open Dzenan Bezdrob for his second goal of the season.

Simon Fraser answered quickly, in the 77th minute, with the game-winning goal by Polisi, his 10th of the season on a shot 15 yards out. "In order to win, there is a process that involves our team needing to be dynamic," said head coach Rob Walker. "We were a moment or two away from winning today against the best team in our conference.  SFU is a well-coached and classy side.  Our guys brought forward a sound game plan and executed their jobs today. Individually, we are proud of guys today, who turned a winning performance on Thursday to what was almost a winning result today.   Kyle Witzel's goal was the result of some great work from Sebastian Navarro and Brandon Madsen's goal was a real show of his class as he set's our all-time record for goals scored in a season." Witzel led the Saints with five shots on the day, three coming on goal including his goal in the 34th minute. Madsen's lone attempt of the night, proved to be effective, scoring in the 74th minute. Iniguez and Navarro each tallied two shots and combined for three shots on goal. Small got the start at goalkeeper, going all 90 minutes, making three saves while allowing four goals on 12 shots faced.
