Box Score BETHANY, Okla. – The Rogers State Men's Soccer team picked up a 2-0 victory over Southern Nazarene Monday night in Great American Conference play.

At the other end of the pitch, Dillon Dean made three saves, including two big saves in the first seven minutes of the game.
 
However, the Hillcats wouldn't take long to find the opening goal in the second half, as Jaxon Pitt scored in his third-straight game to put the visitors ahead.
 
Pitt knocked home a close-range effort with an assist from Jordan Watson to put Rogers State ahead in the 49^th minute. Pitt has now scored six goals in his last eight games.
 
The Hillcats would maintain the one goal advantage until the 79^th minute when Pedro Garcia set up Cairo Allen, who scored his first goal of the season to double the RSU lead. The assist was Garcia's first point of the year.
 
Dean finished the game with six saves to record his third complete-game shutout of the season as he improved to 4-0-0 in goal.
