PORTLAND, Ore.| The Knights celebrated Senior Day with a 3-1 victory over Rocky Mountain College on Saturday.
For the second game in a row,
Andrew Martinez opened the game by scoring a goal in under a minute.

The equalizing penalty kick from Rocky Mountain would hold for the rest of the half, and the game remained tied at 1-1 going into the break.

th minute gave the Knights a 2-1 lead. The goal was the 12
th of the year for Leach and came off of an assist from
Erik Mattice.
Andrew Martinez tacked on an insurance goal in the 70
th minute to bring the game to its final score of 3-1.
The Knights defense kept Rocky Mountain in check all game, only allowing two shots on goal.
