#20 Hawks Start GLVC Season with 2-1 Win over UMSL

QUINCY, Ill. - Artan Emini had a part in both goals scored by No. 20 Quincy University men's soccer tonight. Emini provided the assist on the first goal, scored by Xhovani Dokaj, and netted the second goal at a nearly impossible angle. Both goals came less than two minutes apart in the first half. QU needed both goals to claim victory over the University of Missouri-St. Louis, 2-1, in a game where the Hawks outshot their opponent 12-6. UMSL found the net in the second half, but QU held on for the win.

Emini's assist came in the form of a cross tastefully place on the right foot of Dokaj. X finished to the far post beating the keeper low from six yards out in the middle of the box. The goal in the 23rd minute gave the Hawks  (2-1, 1-0 GLVC) a 1-0 lead.

Artan Emini had the ball near the end line on the left side of the net in the 24th minute. Emini took a touch closer toward the end line and turned to chip the ball over the keeper and in between the pipes from an acute angle. Emini's goal gave the Hawks a 2-0 lead headed into the half.

UMSL (1-2, 0-1 GLVC) chipped away at the QU lead with a goal in the 71st minute. Evan Garrad chased a ball down the left side and sent a cross in for DJ Bednar. Bednar elevated and buried a header from five yards out to pull within one goal.

The Hawk defense was up to the task of holding the lead in the final 19 minutes of play. UMSL only took one shot the rest of the game.

The No. 20 Hawks head on the road to face Maryville University in St. Louis, Mo. on Sunday (Sept. 13). Kick off is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Maryville's campus.
