Concordia sophomore Patrik Zsiros made waves this past weekend at the Triton Invitational scoring a team-best 13 goals and powering the Eagles to their first two victories of the year.
Zsiros racked up a whopping seven goals against La Verne College on Sunday in Concordia's first win of the season. He scored in every quarter to propel the Eagles to a 15-13 decision over the Leopards.Â
In CUI's last match of the tournament, the 6'1" driver contributed three more goals to help the Eagles cement their second triumph with an 11-8 win over Redlands.Â
The sophomore from Budapest, Hungary also tallied three goals on Saturday in Concordia's losses to California and Air Force. His two scores against the Falcons included a go-ahead goal late in the fourth quarter.Â
Currently majoring in finance at Concordia with a minor in economics, Zsiros wants to play professionally after college and start his own business.
The nineteen-year-old also loves to play soccer and his favorite athlete is Lionel Messi.
His favorite quote comes from former Packers Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi who once said: "The greatest accomplishment is not in never failing, but in rising again after you fail."
Zsiros and the Eagles will be back in action Thursday when Concordia visits the USC Trojans at 5 p.m. CUI then faces Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Saturday at 9 a.m. in the Inland Empire Invitational.
