Benavente scores twice, DSC beats the Silverswords

Third straight win for Dixie State in PacWest play

Box Score

ST. GEORGE – In front of friends and family that came from Las Vegas, freshman Ryan Benavente (Las Vegas, NV/Durango) scored his first two collegiate goals to lead Dixie State College to a 2-1 win over Chaminade University in Pacific West Conference play.
 
The win at Hansen Stadium, the third straight for Danny Ortiz's squad, pushed the Red Storm's record to 4-6-1 overall and 3-3-1 in the PacWest.
 
Despite being outshot in the first half by one, Benavente struck first for Dixie State in the 40th minute off a breakaway.
 
The lead lasted 47 seconds. Dayton Sato evened the match with a breakaway of his own.
 
In the 65th minute, Francisco Garay (American Fork, UT/American Fork) sent a pass to into the middle of the box and Benavente lifted a shot that dropped over the goalkeeper's head.
 
Dixie State won the shot battle 11 to eight and gave keeper Tyler Walters (Ogden, UT/Ben Lomand) his fourth win after a three-save night.
 
The Red Storm face BYU-Hawaii Monday at 4:30 on the campus of Dixie High School.
