Dominican's Saldana flirts
with NCAA record
RIVER FOREST, Ill. -- Dominican University's Juan
Saldana (O'Fallon, MO) came within 50 seconds of setting an NCAA
Division III men's soccer record on Wednesday when he scored three
goals in a one minute 55 second span in the Stars' 9-0 win over
neighborhood rival Concordia University Chicago.
Saldana tallied his first goal of the game at 54:03 and scored his
second goal just 47 seconds later at 54:50. Saldana then added his
third goal of the game at 55:58. In the process, the 5'10” freshman,
logged his first career hat-trick, scoring his fifth, sixth and
seventh goals of the season.
The NCAA Division III record for fastest three consecutive goals was
set back on October 10, 1992, by Ohio Wesleyan University's Mike
Pepe and it is just the tenth time at any level in the NCAA that
three goals have been scored by the same player in under two
minutes.
