Senior midfielders Lance Rozeboom and Michael Green got a senior night gift like no other: the first undefeated season for the men’s soccer team. University stadium was packed with some 5,300 Lobo fans as the team beat UNLV 3-0 on Saturday night. Both Rozeboom and Green scored goals, and junior midfielder Lawrence Robledo added a third in a rough game that saw UNLV get two red cards. “It was an absolute blast and the atmosphere was amazing,” freshman defender Nick Miele said. “We feel honored to send the seniors off tonight with a win.” With five minutes left in the first half, sophomore midfielder Giovanni Rollie was fouled inside of the box and the Lobos were awarded a penalty kick. Rozeboom stepped up and sent the goalie the wrong way to score his third goal of the season, all of them from penalty kicks. Rozeboom said he is fine with only scoring three goals this year as long as the team wins. “The bottom line is that everyone has the ability to win games this year,” he said. “I am more than happy to have others scoring game-winning goals for us as long as the team is unified and working hard.” Fifteen minutes into the second half, the Rebels gave up another penalty kick. Sophomore forward Carson Baldinger was taken down in the box, and the foul resulted in UNLV’s Richard Abrego receiving a red card. On the ensuing penalty kick Green stepped up and got a goal of his own, his shot sneaking in past the diving Rebels’ goalkeeper Ryan Harding.
