BISMARCK, ND - The University of Mary men's soccer team recorded a much needed 4-1 win over Dakota Wesleyan Wednesday, Sept. 21 at the MDU Resources Community Bowl.

The Marauders broke a four match losing streak and freshman Marc Carreras was a big help in doing so as he finished with a hat trick.

A native of Barcelona, Spain, Carreras scored Mary's first two goals of the match. In the 13th-minute Guilherme Zogbi da Silva found Carreras from about 10 yards out for the score. In the 14th-minute Carreras handled his own rebound and found the net to give the Marauders an early 2-0 lead.

But in the 27th-minute DWU's Peter Wartenberg snipped a shot from about 40 yards out just over Ludvig Rhodin's head to get the Tigers back in the match, trailing 2-1.

Freshman Hampus Rasmussen scored his first career goal of his young Marauder career in the 33rd-minute to give the Marauders a 3-1 lead heading into halftime.

A quieter second half but Carreras capped off his career night with his third goal of the match in the 73rd-minute off a header from Rasmussen.

Carreras finished with seven shots in 82 minutes of play.

After being outshot 86-27 in its last four matches, the Marauders found its stride against the Tigers and outshot them 22-3 in the match.

Corner kicks were in favor of Mary as the Marauders finished with seven. The blue and orange were given nine fouls and freshman Will Hall and Carreras were given yellow cards.

In the net for Mary was sophomore goalkeeper Rhodin who recorded the win to bump his record up to 5-4-0 on the year and Gaston Miteff was given the loss and finished with four saves for the Tigers.

The Marauders will have another home match Sunday, Sept. 25 at 3:30 p.m. against Fort Hays State.
