Box Score Kansas City, MO – The Maryville men's soccer teams season came to an end as Rockhurst scored a goal in the first half and then added a pair of goals in the second half to defeat the Saints 3-0 in the quarterfinals of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Men's Soccer Championships Sunday afternoon in Kansas City.
 
The Hawks (15-2-1), the sixth ranked team in Division II, kept play in their attacking end for most of the first half and it paid off as Kaleb Jackson headed in a cross from 6-yards out on the right wing to give Rockhurst a 1-0 in the 32nd minute. The Hawks outshot Maryville 10-2 with six of those shots being on frame and Saints goalkeeper Chrsitian Kjaersgaard turning away five shots.
 
Rockhurst received an insurance goal in the 61st minute as Gianluca Bottoni drilled a shot from 27-yards out on the left wing to take a 2-0 lead. Bottoni added his second goal of the day in the 65th minute from 18-yards out to stake the Hawks to a 3-0 lead.
 
Maryville ends the season with a record of 10-8-1, which is the best record for a Saints men's soccer team since the team in 2000 went 11-7-0.
