CHICAGO - A pair of goals by sophomore midfielder Kyle Breitenbach (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso University/Valparaiso) helped spark a second-half, scoring flurry and helped push Saint Xavier University past Trinity Christian College (Ill.), 3-2, in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) men's soccer action Saturday night at Bruce R. Deaton Memorial Field in Chicago. Freshman keeper Kyle Held (Palatine, Ill./Palatine) had another solid start in goal for the Cougars playing 78 minutes, allowing one goal and posting a save. SXU improves to 11-5-1 overall with the victory and 7-1-1 in the conference standings.

After a scoreless first half, Breitenbach found a gap in the Trolls defense and scored on a break-away set up by a pass from junior midfielder Adrian Guzman (Chicago, Ill./De La Salle) in the 57^th minute. Just nine minutes later, Breitenbach scored again on a similar play off an assist by junior midfielder Al Palar (Zabrze, Poland/Plainfield Central). Palar would then give the Cougars some more cushion with a penalty kick in the 74^th minute. Trinity Christian would not go down quietly with sophomore midfielder Dave Tadla finding the back of the net with just over 11 minutes remaining in regulation to make the score, 3-1. In the 85^th minute, the Trolls struck again with a free kick goal by senior defender Carlos Reyes.

Saint Xavier (10-5-1 overall/6-1-1 CCAC) wraps up its regular season slate on Wednesday, November 3, with a conference game against league-leading Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). The road game is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start in Chicago.
