WINONA LAKE, Ind. – The #2 ranked Indiana Tech men's soccer team was up the road to play another Crossroads League opponent in (RV) Grace College in their final non-conference match this season.

Fernando Cuevas scored in the 69th minute on a beautiful volley from the top of the box to draw the Warriors level. With 13 minutes left in the game,
Robin Vezinhet would be the hero again for the Warriors, scoring an outrageous left footed shot into the top right corner from roughly 30 yards out. It is the third straight game winning goal for Vezinhet.
Zak El Hannach assisted Vezinhet's game winner, the fourth straight game with an assist and seventh straight game with a goal or assist for El Hannach.
