JOLIET, Ill. --- Sergio Fernandez-Arango and William Martinez both recorded hat tricks for the University of St. Francis men's soccer team in a record-setting 12-2 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference performance over Calumet College of St. Joseph on Busey Bank Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The previous USF record for most goals in a game was nine, set a pair of times, most recently against Lincoln Christian University in a shutout on Aug. 26, 2017.  That was also the old mark for the widest margin of victory.

Fernandez-Arango needed just 10 minutes, 40 seconds to author his first collegiate three-goal game as he provided the Saints with each of their first three scores.  He also assisted on USF's fourth and eighth tallies, all of which came in the opening half.

Martinez accounted for three of the four second-half goals, the last three on the day for St. Francis (4-5-1, 2-3 CCAC). USF's other offensive contributors were Cameron Schroder with two goals and Ander Santamarta, Anthony Derka, Santos Contreras and Diego Hernandez with one goal each.

Besides Fernandez-Arango, St. Francis' other assists were recorded by Diego Cortes (two), Edward Luna, Marco Calixto, Derka and Contreras.

Sebastian Mireles gained the start in goal, where he notched his first collegiate victory. 

St. Francis managed 39 total shots on the day with 16 being on goal.  Calumet St. Joseph (2-6-1, 1-5) mustered up just four shots with only two being on goal.

Notes: Ten different Saints were a part of the record-setting effort, either scoring a goal or providing an assist.  In all, 21 USF players saw action … Schroder and Hernandez both notched their first collegiate goals with Schroder's being his first multiple-goal game … Calixto produced his first points donning a St. Francis uniform with his assist in the second half … Derka's points (1 goal, 1 assist) were his first of the season …  With his eight points on Saturday, Fernandez-Arango moved atop the leaderboard in that category with his 17 points on the season … Fernandez-Arango and Contreras also lead the team in goals now with six each … Four of Contreras' goals have come on penalty kicks, including the one on Saturday … Fernandez-Arango doubled his goal output on Saturday.  He entered the day with three goals through his first nine games.  Martinez had just one goal prior to Saturday … The Saints entered Saturday's contest with just one score in their three previous contests … USF hosts the CCAC's top team in Olivet Nazarene on Wednesday at 7 pm.
