Saints Dominate on Senior Night with 12-0 Victory Over Calumet

Notre Dame, Ind. — The Holy Cross College men's soccer team delivered a commanding performance on Senior Night, defeating Calumet College 12-0 at Saints Field. The Saints improved to 5-4 overall and a perfect 2-0 in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference play with the win.

Xavier Fox set the tone early with a goal in the 3rd minute, and went on to complete a first-half hat trick. Daniel Alfaro followed with three goals of his own, while Kai Lulic, Nikolas Panayiotou, Niko Kunz, and Dominic Castillo each added to the scoring barrage before halftime.
