               The UW-Parkside men's soccer team, gunning for its 31^st consecutive winning season, got back on the winning side of their overall record with a decisive 5-0 win over Robert Morris University of Lake County on a warm Sunday afternoon at Wood Road Field. The non-conference conquest gives the Rangers a 6-5-2 overall record.

                Robert Morris, a team only three years removed from a United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) national championship, fell to 4-8-4. The Eagles saw an end to the three-game winning streak they brought to Somers.

                The Rangers scored their first goal in the 20^th minute. Austin Robb moved the twine with an assist from Spencer Bursten, which turned out to be the game-winner.

                “We had a lot of chances early and didn't make the most of it,” admitted UW-Parkside associate head coach Jason Zitzke. “We need to find a way to put most of those chances in the back of the net.”

                In the match, the Rangers fired a whopping 44 shots, 16 of which were on net. The Eagles had only two shot attempts, one of which was turned away by Ranger goalkeeper Ryan Onwukwe.

                The Rangers led, 2-0, at halftime. Adrian Magana picked the ball out of a scramble in front of the goal and beat Eagle netminder Nemanja Nanadovic at 42:08 for the buldge of two.

                UW-Parkside tacked on three more goals in the second stanza.

                Magana picked up where he left off in the first half by opening the second half scoring. This time he was set up by Jason Moxley and Jon Bebeau at 55:38.

                Matt Gloshen got into the act with a goal at 56:43 assisted by Niklas Boedts and Collin Monahan. The scoring was wrapped up by Cyril Simmons at 72:20 with help from Monahan.

                “We had a lot of people contribute today, which was a good thing,” said Zitzke.

                UW-Parkside has four games left on the 2010 regular season schedule, all Great Lakes Valley Conference matches. Next up is a home match with Quincy, Friday, Oct. 15, at 1:15 p.m.

                “This team still has a chance to put its stamp on the program,” said Zitzke. “It's all a matter of finishing strong down the stretch.”
