Against St. Xavier, senior Augustine Faiz (Des Moines, Iowa) got the Vikings on the board with a goal nine minutes into the match. Poulsen scored the next two goals of the game, the second assisted by sophomore Jonny MacAdam (Glasgow, Scotland) off of a corner kick, to put GV up 3-0. SXU fought back to get within a goal, scoring in the 51st minute and again in the 84th minute on a PK. GV held on for the win to improve to 3-0 on the year.
Three of Grand View's goals came from new members of this year's squad. Junior transfer Luis Heiter-Piffer had an impressive debut for the Vikings and scored both of GV's first half goals in the 27th and 32nd minutes. Jonny MacAdam scored a third goal in the 63rd minute assisted by Noah Acosta. Senior transfer Partryk Seppelt-Korajewski added a fourth goal just a minute and a half later and the final goal came from Noel Medina assisted by Danny Mullins in the 82nd minute.
Senior goalkeeper Darren Martin recorded four saves and a shutout. As a team, Grand View outshot St. Francis 23-11 and 14-4 in shots on goal.
Grand View men's soccer players Chris Scott, Rich Bywater, Ryan Adamson, Jonny Macadam, Manny Gutierrez, and Wes Dawson have put in over 55 hours with the students, and the 10-week program ends April 25th. These players want to help implement soccer as a way for the boy scouts to start up and/or create interest for the cub packs, so they can experience the "scouting way of life."
Grand View midfielder Chris Scott (Kilsyth, Scotland) was selected to the Honorable Mention All-America Team. This is Scott's second All-America honor as he was also selected to the Honorable Mention Team in 2007. Scott was voted as the MCC Player of the Year and was a member of the MCC First Team in 2009.
Scott led the Vikings to a 12-6-2 overall record and 6-1-1 MCC record for second place. He finished the season with three goals and two assists for eight points. Defensively he was a part of a team that finished second in the conference in goals allowed (22) and goals against average (1.07) and third in shutouts (seven).
