UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. - The Saginaw Valley State University men's soccer team defeated Walsh 4-0 in a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) match on Sunday (Oct 13).

The second Cardinal goal came from fellow defender Taylor Clarke at the 40:34 mark.  The 2-0 score would take the squads in to halftime.

Sophomore forward Tyler Channell continued the SVSU scoring at the 58:30 mark, adding to the lead.  Zach Walega added his first goal of the season to make the score 4-0 in the 89th minute when he dribbled through a group of Cavalier defenders and shot a ball past the outstretched goalkeeper.  The last-minute goal would seal the 4-0 win for the Cardinals.

Freshman goalkeeper Aaron Gerwig notched his GLIAC-leading fourth shutout of the season.  Gerwig is now 8-1-2 overall in 2013.
