Sophomore Jandir Porta (West Valley City, Utah/Hunter HS) recorded his second career two-goal match as Dixie State won its third straight in a 2-0 shutout result over Hawai'i Hilo Thursday night at Legend Solar Stadium.

Porta got the Trailblazers (10-2-0/6-2-0 PacWest) on the board midway through the 19^th-minute when he corralled a Bryan Baugh (Henderson, Nev./Green Valley HS) deflected header attempt off a Moises Medina (Mesquite, Nev./Virgin Valley HS) corner kick and finished the chance inside the left post. Medina then missed a chance to extend the DSU advantage with under seven minutes to play in the half as he rocketed a shot that bounded off the cross bar, which kept it a one-goal game through to the halftime break.

Dixie State narrowly missed another opportunity to net an insurance goal in the 54^th-minute when sophomore Christian Hall (Layton, Utah/Northridge HS) lobbed a ball toward an empty Hilo net, but a Vulcan defender managed to retreat back and head the ball away at the last possible moment to deny the chance.

DSU struck for its second goal with 9:46 to play when Medina played a through ball to Porta, who booted home a shot from left wing for his fifth goal of the year. The Trailblazers then limited the Vulcans (0-12-0/0-9-0 PacWest) to just one shot attempt the rest of the way to close out the match.

Dixie State outshot Hawai'i Hilo by a 14-11 count, including a 6-4 edge on frame. Sophomore netminder Zach Nielson (West Point, Utah/Northridge HS) (8-2-0) collected four saves to earn his fourth shutout victory of the year.

Dixie State returns to action this Saturday with a PacWest match up against Point Loma inside Legend Solar Stadium at 7 p.m.
