UW-Platteville tied the men's soccer record for wins in a season when the Pioneers beat Buena Vista 1-0 late Sunday afternoon at Ralph E. Davis Pioneer Stadium.
The Pioneers matched the 1983 and 1998 teams with 14 victories on a year. UWP improved to 14-3 this season, while the Beavers fell to 3-13-1.
The lone goal was one of the best-played goals of the season for UWP. Ben Terpening took a ball up the right side, then shot a pass to Keith Gronke, who quickly centered to Alex Albright, who put the ball in the net. The rapid play and exceptional teamwork was the only goal the Pioneers would need, as UWP recorded its ninth shutout, tying another school mark. Goalkeeper Steve Wise made three saves in the net while playing the full 90 minutes.
The Pioneers play their final home game Thursday vs. Loras at 7:30 p.m.
