FNU’s junior Pedro Veiga followed each of the PK’s with goals in the 23rd and 35th minutes to give the Conquistadors the 4-0 halftime cushion.

Just over a minute later, McM struck again. This time it was senior Josh Erwin notching his first goal of 2018, putting a shot into the upper left corner of the target, with Sanchez assisting once again at the 49:52 mark.
FNU added its final tally in the 68th minute for the 5-2 final score with junior Santiago Gaggero nice curved shot in right of goal from top left.
