ST. LOUIS, Mo. - The men's soccer team improved to 12-0 this season, 4-0 in the University Athletic Association, with a 2-0 victory over Washington University in St. Louis.

Rochester maintains its lead in the UAA race over Carnegie Mellon, Emory, and Chicago, all of which won on Sunday. Emory defeated Brandeis, Carnegie topped NYU, and Chicago blanked Case Reserve. The Yellowjackets are 4-0 with 12 points. EU, CMU, and UC are 3-1 with nine points. Rochester defeated Chicago, 2-1, in OT on Friday afternoon.

Senior forward Gary Stom scored one goal and assisted on the other to get the Yellowjacket win. At 25:07, Stom scored his seventh goal of the season when he hit a 15-yarder to the near post.

Four minutes into the second half, Stom used his familiar flip throw to direct the ball into the center of the goalmouth and Colin Fernie headed it in at 49:56. It is Rochester's 16th consecutive victory dating back to last season. The Yellowjackets are unbeaten in their last 23 matches with a 19-0-4 won-lost-tied record.

On Friday, Stom assisted on the gamewinning goal in overtime, scored by Jeremy Mann.

Rochester has a brief hiatus from UAA play. The Yellowjackets host SUNY Cortland at 7 pm on Saturday, the 22nd, as part of Meliora Weekend festivities. Rochester returns to UAA action on Friday, October 28 (hosting Emory) and Sunday, October 30 (hosting Carnegie Mellon) at Fauver Stadium.

Washington is 6-5-3 overall, 1-3 in the UAA. Last year, the Yellowjackets and Bears battled to a 0-0 tie in double overtime at Fauver Stadium.
