The Gents (2-2-1, 2-1 SCAC) fell by a score of 1-0 to the St. Thomas Celts last Saturday in Houston in Centenary's first road match of the season.

St. Thomas forward Ian Alvarez scored in the 28th minute in the first half off an assists from Gabe Salako last Saturday for a 1-0 lead that proved to be the final margin. Centenary was limited to just eight total shots on the game while St. Thomas took 10.

He is also fourth in saves per game, sixth in goals against average, seventh in save percentage, and tied for first in shutouts.
