Will Mallory scored the game's only goal and Keller Mochel posted his ninth shutout of the season as the Colorado College men's soccer team defeated the University of Dallas, 1-0, Sunday afternoon on Stewart Field.
 
The Tigers (10-3, 8-2 SCAC) controlled play in the first half, outshooting Dallas 7-3, but could not find the net behind Crusader goalkeeper Sean Carlin.
 
In the 51st minute, CC midfielder Samson Heyer sent a pass towards the box that was picked off by a Dallas defender, but the ball went right to Mallory in the middle of the box, and he fired a shot that hit the crossbar and went straight down.
 
The officials ruled the ball crossed the goal line for Mallory's second game winner of the season, both of which occurred during 1-0 victories over the Crusaders.
 
Mallory now has factored in four game-winning goals this year, scoring a pair and setting up two others.
 
"The guys turned in a gritty performance this afternoon," head coach Scott Palguta said. "We played really well in the first half and dictated play, but couldn't solve Dallas in the final third.
 
"In the second half, after scoring a very nice goal, the game became far too wide open and we struggles to control the tempo of the game."
 
Dallas (6-3, 5-2 SCAC) picked up the pace after the goal and outshot the Tigers, 8-3, during the final 45 minutes.
 
The Crusaders' best scoring chance came with 24 minutes remaining when Mochel sent a pass directly to UD's Nat Kajiwara, who found himself one-on-one with Mochel. Kajiwara made a move at the top of the box, but Mochel thwarted the effort and secured the one-goal lead.
 
"We got big performances from Henry Schuler, Alex Makic and Rory Eastland-Fruit, which was just enough to hold off Dallas during a frenzied final 15 minutes," Palguta added.
 
Each goalie made four saves, while Mallory led all players with four shots.
 
Colorado College extended its scoreless streak to nearly 454 minutes and its five consecutive shutouts are the most for the program since 2015 when the Tigers did not allow a goal during the final five games of the regular season and the semifinal match of the SCAC championship at Stewart Field.
 
CC heads back out on the road next weekend for matches against Texas Lutheran University on Friday, Oct. 12, and Southwestern University on Sunday, Oct. 14.
