OREM, Utah – Senior Blake Frischknecht recorded a brace as Utah Valley University scored four second-half goals to defeat Air Force, 4-1, on Senior Day at Clyde Field. Zach Maas scored for the fourth straight game and Frischknecht recorded his sixth game-winner of the year as the Wolverines (11-6-1, 8-3-0) finished 6-0 at home in WAC play and secured the No. 2 seed in next week's WAC Tournament.
 
Frischknecht's goals came in a span of just 33 seconds, adding to his school record, which now sits at 12 entering next week's WAC Tournament. His 25 points scored on the season is also a school record. Senior Aaron Caprio added the fourth goal for the Wolverines, scoring on a penalty kick in the 86th minute.
 
"There were naturally a lot of emotions out there today. To watch our seniors walk off Clyde Field with a solid result in front of family, friends, and our 12th Wolverines, was truly something special for everyone," UVU head coach Greg Maas said. "Our focus has now quickly changed to next week's WAC tournament in Colorado. We're confident, riding great momentum, and we're looking forward to an exciting run for UVU men's soccer."
 
The game was scoreless for over 55 minutes before the Falcons (7-10-0, 6-5-1) got a goal from Tristan Trager. Trager got his head on the ball right in front of the goal mouth and scored his seventh goal in the last three contests. Trager leads the WAC with 13 goals, one in front of Frischknecht.
 
Maas got the equalizer in the 69th minute on a toe poke that ricocheted off the goalkeeper and in. The goal was Maas' career-high sixth of the season and extended UVU's winning streak to three in a row. 
 
Frischknecht's game-winning goal came in the 78th minute on a free kick from just outside the box. His ball went over the wall, hit the crossbar and went in for goal No. 11. His second goal came when Luis Vargas sent a ball forward and Frischknecht flicked it with the outside of his foot, over the oncoming goalkeeper, to the back post and into the side netting for the 3-1 lead. Vargas and Jaiden Waggoner – both seniors -- were credited with assists on the play.
 
Senior goalkeeper Mitch Jensen finished with four saves in his final game as he and the other six seniors on the rosters were all honored prior to the match. Alec Felix, who is the program's career leader in minutes played, and Luis Garza joined Jensen, Frischknecht, Caprio, Vargas and Waggoner as the Wolverines playing their final game on Clyde Field. 
 
The WAC Tournament begins next Wednesday with the opponent and start time to be determined by the remainder of Saturday's action.
