The Park University men's soccer program had a picture perfect game in all phases at Julian on Wednesday, defeating their final non-conference opponent Avila University, 7-nil.

The Pirates went undefeated against non-conference opponents at 3-0-1, while Avila now drops to 1-1 in the early goings of 2025. 

There were seven different goal scorers in the game, which shows a lot for how balanced the attack is of the Pirates squad. 20 goals through four games and two shutout victories is a quality start for the team as they ramp up to Heart of America Athletic Conference play. 

There was no score through the first 20 minutes, but that did not last much longer, as Julian Campos sparked the Pirates offense in the 22nd minute. A good interception off of a pass from the Avila goalkeeper, put Campos in a great position to capitalize for the game's first goal, his first on the season. He was up top for the matches' Pirate Post-Game.
