The Vulcans posted consecutive 2-0 victories to start the season with a win over Cal State Dominguez Hills at home and over Chaminade on Oʻahu.<\/span> Souza tallied eight and five saves, respectively.<\/p>\n

“It was a team effort,” said Souza. “I was excited to see that type of recognition, but it does take all 11 of us to keep a shutout for two games. I’m happy we all followed Coach Diego’s principles and it kept the other teams scoreless.”<\/p>\n

Souza now has seven career shutouts, putting him at No.<\/abbr> 2 all-time in program history. He also has 129 total career saves, sitting at No.<\/abbr> 3<\/p>\n
