(RV) Rocky Men’s Soccer Blanks the Geoducks in 3-0 Shutout

BILLINGS, Mont.- Rocky Men's Soccer leveraged a staggering 35-1 shot advantage to dominate Evergreen State, rolling to their first conference victory of the season in commanding fashion.

Junior Luke Tooze netted his first two goals of the season, marking his second career brace, to give the Battlin' Bears all the offense they needed in a 3-0 clean sheet against the Geoducks.

How it Happened
Espoir Mayele ignited the offense early for the Battlin' Bears, slicing through the Geoduck defense before cutting a pass back into the center of the pitch. Luke Tooze collected the pass and unleashed a laser into the back of the net to put Rocky ahead 1-0. Manny Mendez provided an immediate spark off the bench later in the frame, tacking on a second first-half goal to give the Battlin' Bears a comfortable 2-0 cushion at the break.

Tooze struck again from distance in the second half, capitalizing on an attempted clearance from Evergreen State, as the midfielder pounced on the loose ball and lifted a precise shot high and just under the crossbar to seal the 3-0 victory and preserve Rocky's undefeated record.
 
Notable Statistics
The Battlin' Bears controlled possession from kickoff to the final whistle, outshooting Evergreen State 35-1, putting 18 shots on frame, and earning 13 corner kicks.

While he didn't find the back of the net, Fynn Sweeting relentlessly pressured the Geoduck backline all evening, firing a team-high eight shot attempts. Rocky demonstrated impressive offensive depth throughout the contest, with nine different Battlin' Bears recording at least two shots.

Despite the loss, Evergreen State goalkeeper Tom Cole delivered a valiant effort in net, racking up 14 saves under constant pressure.
