The College of DuPage men's soccer team closed its regular-season home schedule with a 3-0 victory over Wright College on Oct. 16, celebrating sophomore night with a second-half offensive surge and a clean sheet.

After a scoreless first half in rainy conditions, the Chaparrals broke through after the break, scoring all three goals to secure the victory. DuPage finished with 30 shots, including 13 on target, consistently pressuring the Wright defense.

Leo Posada, Uli Huerta and Aiden Caldera each scored for the Chaparrals. Anthony Juarez, Caldera and Huerta recorded assists, highlighting the balanced offensive attack that helped DuPage pull away in the second half.

Juarez leads the Chaparrals with six goals this season, while Huerta and Caldera have scored five apiece. Caldera also leads the team with four assists.

Sophomores Sam Eaton and Diego Ochoa split time in goal, each playing one half in the shutout. Ochoa recorded one save as the Chaparrals kept Wright off the scoreboard.

The victory followed a difficult road outing for DuPage, which fell 7-0 to Madison College in Madison, Wisconsin, on Oct. 14. Huerta and Alan Osorio each put a shot on goal, while Eaton made seven saves in goal.

DuPage will now turn its attention to postseason play after closing its home schedule with a shutout. The Chaparrals will face Owens Community College in the NJCAA Sub-District Championship on Saturday, Oct. 24, at noon at Joliet Junior College.

DuPage last faced Owens in 2012, falling 1-0 in a neutral-site contest in Springfield, Illinois. If the Chaparrals advance, they will return to Joliet on Sunday, Oct. 25, to face Joliet Junior College.
