Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
First-year forward Gabe Kellman of Colorado College came off the bench to score a pair of goals during CC's 3-2 victory at Austin College on Sunday. He struck for the first time in the 36th minute, re-directing Alex Meyerhoff's corner kick from in front of the near post into the fight right side of the net, and struck again a little more than six minutes later when he tipped Will Sylvain's cross from the right end line inside the near post. It was the second brace of the season for Kellman. His second goal turned out to be his second game winner of the season, and he took over the team lead with 19 points on six goals and seven assists. Kellman also had an assist on Vincent Luglio's game-tying goal in the 82nd minute of Friday's 2-1 victory in double overtime at the University of Dallas. Junior midfielder Joao Maia of Texas Lutheran registered the first two goals of his career, finding the net in each of the Bulldogs' matches this weekend.
