RICHARDSON, TX (10.26.19) - Seven different players scored as the UT Dallas men's soccer team closed out the home portion of the regular season Saturday afternoon with a 10-0 drubbing of Louisiana College in American Southwest Conference play.

The win moved the Comets to 13-3-2 overall and temporarily atop the ASC standings with a 7-1-2 league mark (23 points). With just one game left to play, UTD has secured a first round home game in the ASC Tournament next week and could still potentially host both the semifinals and title match, pending next week's results from around the league. The Comets will close the regular season Friday at 3:30 p.m. at Ozarks in Clarksville, Ark.

Sophomore Oliver Hamby recorded his first collegiate "hat trick" as he led the Comet scoring barrage in the lop-sided victory. Jovi Munoz scored twice while five other UTD players each tallied against the visiting Wildcats (1-15, 1-9 ASC). Hashem Shehata came off the bench to collect a goal and three assists.

The Comets finished the contest with 43 shots, six shy of the program record, and took 22 shots on frame in the win. In comparison, the UTD defense limited the Wildcats to just one shot, that coming on target late in the second half.

Jordan Henderson, one of the Comets' five seniors recognized prior to the match, opening the scoring in the second minute, thanks to assists from Munoz and fellow senior Brad Rivenes. Munoz doubled the lead to 2-0 in the fourth minute with an unassisted tally. Another senior, Alfredo Kaegi, got into the action in the 11th minute, thanks to an assist from Henderson, to lift the Comets to a comfortable 3-0 cushion.

Donny Smith tacked on a fourth opening-half goal in the 29th minute thanks to assists from Shehata and Brian Rahmoune before Shehata would complete the first-half scoring with an unassisted goal in the 40th minute.

Munoz collected his second goal of the afternoon, and ASC-leading 13th of the season, in the 59th minute, assisted by Gage Ott and senior Hunter Williams. Hamby then recorded the next three Comet goals. Hamby's first of the contest came in the 65th minute, assisted by Shehata. He added another goal in the 68th minute, assisted by both Shehata and Rahmoune, and completed the "hat trick" in the 75th minute, assisted by Jackson Huckaby. Daniel Cea completed the scoring with a tally in the 86th minute, assisted by Jose Garcia.
