Irvine, CA - Not only did the Concordia Men's Soccer team win its first two games in Hawaii, the squad cracked Hero Sports News' top 25 national rankings.

The Eagles, who hold the 25^th spot, started their winning weekend against Hawaii Pacific.  

Despite falling behind first to the Sharks, a goal from Asher Axe evened the score at one a piece. The Eagles closed out the game in overtime when Isaac Gettis sank a goal in the 104^th minute.

Goal keeper Jordan Brinkley posted eight saves.

Monday, Brinkley delivered his fifth shutout of the year in the 2-0 win over BYU-Hawaii.  

The Eagles jumped out to an early lead against the Seasiders. Jose Huerta scored his first goal of the day on a bicycle kick from the center of the box. In the 80^th minute, Huerta found the back of the net again with a blast to the back post.

Although BYU-Hawaii fired 14 shots, Brinkley's four saves kept the Seasiders scoreless.

The Eagles, 4-1, hold the second place position in the PacWest.

Concordia begins the second half of their PacWest tour in Hawaii Thursday at 1 p.m. against Chaminade University (2-3-1). They conclude the four game stretch with University of Hawaii at Hilo (0-3-3) on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
