WILMORE, Ky. -- Point Park University men's soccer pushed its record to 9-1 on the year with Saturday's 3-1 victory at Asbury (Ky.) University. The Pioneers (9-1, 3-0 RSC) remained unbeaten in the River States Conference and won for the eighth time in a row.

The Pioneers guarded the 2-1 lead until van Wees sealed the result with an unassisted goal in the 84th minute.

Point Park had taken a 1-0 lead on Yuki Takeda's goal 13:47 after kickoff. Kakanou Fotie made the assist. The lead was short-lived with Asbury being awarded a penalty kick five minutes later. Noah Welch converted to tie things up.
