MORAGA, Calif. — After a late game-winner to give Saint Mary's men's soccer (1-0-1) a big road victory at reigning Big West champion CSUN, sophomore striker Jake Rudel has been named Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Aug. 20-27.
Tied 1-1, Rudel drilled a left footed strike to the upper right corner of the Matadors net in the 87th minute for the game-winner at CSUN. The win is the program's first versus the Matadors since 1999, and the first win at CSUN in program history.
After holding a 1-0 lead through 75 minutes, the Gaels found themselves in a tightly contested match after CSUN's equalizer.
