Larks' Historic Season Ends in CAC Semifinals

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — The Hesston College men's soccer team's historic season came to an end Sunday, Nov. 8, with a 3-1 loss to Georgia Gwinnett College in the Continental Athletic Conference Tournament semifinals.

The Larks finished the season with a 12-3-3 record, recording their most wins since 1992 and capping one of the program's most successful seasons in more than three decades.

Georgia Gwinnett took control late in the first half, scoring three goals in a seven-minute stretch. Ousmane Fall opened the scoring in the 34th minute, followed by goals from Michael Mallaburn in the 37th and Dylan Cedeno in the 41st to give the Grizzlies a 3-0 halftime advantage.

Hesston responded early in the second half when Alexander Radu converted a penalty kick in the 54th minute, cutting the deficit to 3-1. The goal marked Radu's 13th of the season.

The Larks continued pressing offensively, generating all six of their shots after halftime. Mario Delgado nearly brought Hesston within one in the 71st minute, but his attempt struck the crossbar. Radu followed with another opportunity moments later, sending his shot high.

Despite the second-half push, Hesston was unable to close the gap. Georgia Gwinnett finished with a 13-6 advantage in shots, while Larks goalkeeper Harry Morris recorded four saves.

The loss brought an end to a memorable season. Hesston finishes with 12 wins, its most since 1992, and a CAC semifinal appearance, marking one of the program's strongest campaigns in more than three decades.
