Winning their third straight game, the Baker men's soccer team defeated Culver-Stockton on Saturday, 3-1.
Baker was able to control the game from start to finish, taking 20 total shots with 13 on goal, while holding Culver-Stockton to just seven shots and two shots on goal. Christian Villegas played all 90 minutes in goal for Baker, making one save.
Baker got things going early as Mo Salas chipped in a pass to Gyorgy Kamaras who finished with his left foot to give Baker a 1-0 lead just four minutes into the game. Later in the first half, Culver-Stockton was able to tie the game, but in the 38th minute, a throw in from Easton Weber went off a Culver defender and into the net, giving Baker a 2-1 lead at halftime.
Late in the second half with Baker still leading 2-1, Baker was awarded a penalty kick and Hunter French finished it just past the keeper, extending Baker's lead to 3-1 late. Baker would hold that lead for the remainder of the game, winning, 3-1.
Baker is now 7-5-2 on the year and 5-2-1 in Heart of America play. They will be back in action on Oct. 19, when they host No. 11 MidAmerica Nazarene at 7:30 p.m., in Baldwin City.
