2019 Season Stats 2019 Game-by-Game
The Spartans had a young roster in 2019, starting nine underclassmen and two juniors consistently. The defense helped carry the team througout the season, led by junior goalie Brandon White. The Spartans posted 10 shutouts over the 18 games. UD ended the regular season with a record of 9-6-2 and 5-2-1 in the conference to earn the fourth seed and a home game in the opening round of American Rivers Conference Tournament.
In that opening round contest, UD hosted #9 Luther and UD took a 2-1 lead in the 79th minute. The Norse would score just a minute later to send the match into overtime at 2-2. After the first 10 minute overtime went without a goal, so did the first nine minutes of the second overtime and it looked like they were heading ino a shootout. However, with just 13 seconds remaining, Luther headed home a corner kick to end the Spartans season in heartbreaking fashion.
Gloire Luwara (Rock Island, Ill./Rock Island) picked up all-conference honors for the first time. In his sophomore campaign, Luwara led the team with nine goals and 43 shots. His nine goals are tied for the eighth most in the conference and his 43 shots are seventh most in the A-R-C. Of his nine goals, four went as game winners for the Spartans, the third most in the conference but he played two less games than the two ahead of him on the leaderboard.
After earning honorable mention all-conference honors as a freshman in 2017, Brandon White (Minooka, Ill./Minooka) is back on the all-conference list as a junior. White started all 18 games in the net for the Spartans in 2019 for a total of 1684:05 minutes. White surrendered just 21 goals over the 18 games for the fifth best goal against average in the conference with a mark of 1.122. The junior from Minooka, Illinois, finished the season with the third most saves per game at 4.17 with 75 saves total. White produced a staggering nine shutouts, the most of any American Rivers Conference goalkeeper.
Lucas Von Braun (Stockholm, Sweden/Nacka) and Josh Merkel (Streamwood, Ill./Bartlett) were two of 13 student-athletes to earn honorable mention recognition. Von Braun stared and played all 18 games of his freshman season, recording two assists in the process. Merkel, the junior captain, also started all 18 games. Merkel recorded three goals, all of which came as penalty kicks, and two assists for eight points, the second most on the team.
The two combined helped hold down the Spartan defense, limiting opposing team to just 1.17 goals per game and only 21 goals total, always keeping the Spartans in the game. The 1.17 average is the fifth best of all conference teams.

Hernandez Named IIAC MVP as Spartans Reach First Ever IIAC Title Game
DUBUQUE, Iowa - Junior Gonzalo Hernandez-Cascante put together one of the best individual seasons in UD history to claim UD's first ever IIAC MVP and helped the University of Dubuque men's soccer team to a 12-6-1, 5-2 Iowa Conference record and the No. 2 seed in the IIAC tournament. After receiving a first round bye, the Spartans defeated Luther, 1-0, thanks to Felipe Sanchez's first goal of the season and advanced to play Loras in the first IIAC Tournament title game in school history. The Spartans put five of their six shots on goal, but were defeated by the eventual national runner-ups, 1-0, thanks to a 50th minute goal.
Hernandez-Cascante (1st team All-Region) and defender Danny Daniels (3rd team All-Region), both NSCAA All-North Region honorees and IIAC First Team selections, and fellow IIAC honorees in goalkeeper Riley Jensen (2nd), midfielder Billy Belmonte (2nd), defender Jake Fahrenkrug, and forward Leo Lenth (2nd), the Spartans utilized a team effort to attain the highest NSCAA North Regional ranking (no. 7 on October 6) since the 2012 season.
Hernandez-Cascante, the first Iowa Conference Offensive MVP in school history, led the IIAC in four-major categories over the course of the season: goals (13), assists (9), points (35), and game-winners (5) en route to All-Region. The speedy and lengthy Hernandez scored three of his game-winners in one-goal victories over Illinois Wesleyan, Hamline University, and Simpson. With one season remaining, the Madrid, Spain native is currently Top-5 in UD career history in assists, points, shots, and game-winners.
The junior was twice named Iowa Conference Men’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week and notched his first career hat trick in a 3-0 victory over Elmhurst on September 22.
UD started off hot with a 7-4-1 record across the non-conference slate with a pair of narrow losses coming at NSCAA Central Region No. 3 Milwaukee School of Engineering, 2-1 in overtime, and a 3-1 defeat at Central Region No. 7 North Park. Highlight wins included 83rd minute game-winner by Hernandez in 3-2 win over Hamline and 90th minute header by Dani Morillo in 2-1 victory at UW-Platteville.
A 3-0 start in IIAC play was fueled by wins over Simpson, Wartburg, and Central by a combined 9-2 margin. A rare, three-goal defeat at Luther was followed by a pair of wins that led to anticipated matchup with rival Loras in the season finale in a winner-take-all, IIAC regular season title match. Lenth scored in the 28th minute, but the Duhawks countered with a pair of goals in the ensuing 12 minutes as the Spartans fell, 2-1.
No matter, the Spartans garnered 10+ wins for the first time since 2012 and earned 10+ wins for the seventh time in the last nine seasons. Despite falling a win short of their second IIAC regular season title, the Spartans snagged a top-3 IIAC finish for the fifth time in seven years.
The Spartans will lose key seniors Belmonte, Jensen, and Fahrenkrug, to graduation, but aim to secure their hold as a member of the IIAC elite next season.

Season Overview
The Spartans clinched their eighth straight Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) berth after finishing the season with a record of 7-9-3, 4-2-1 IIAC. Coach Johnson secured his 65th career win after the Spartans earned the four seed in the IIAC tournament. All-IIAC honorees, sophomore forward Gonzalo Hernandez and senior midfielder Brandon Wiley, each assisted on the other’s goal as the Spartans won, 3-1, in the first round of the IIAC tournament. Fellow All-Conference selection, junior goalkeeper Riley Jensen, stole the show with a season-high 12 saves after facing 33 shots, 17 on goal, and 15 corner kicks during 2-1 overtime loss in the IIAC semifinals.
After surviving one of the most challenging non-conference schedules the Spartans were poised for IIAC success. The Spartans non-conference slate featured two ties and four one-goal losses. UD claimed its first victory on the newly turfed Oyen Field after a 4-0 rout on September 24. The Spartans utilized their challenging non-conference start with an IIAC mark of 4-1-1, improving IIAC record to 31-13-1 (.689) since 2009. Both the IIAC loss and tie came against a pair of top-15 nationally ranked teams.
In their final IIAC regular season game with a possible two seed and first round bye on the line, Hernandez netted two goals and one assist, in 4-3 overtime loss. It was a shootout after UD grabbed an early 2-0 lead that was quickly erased after three unanswered goals. Hernandez tied it up in the 83rd, but the Spartans fell after a 105th minute goal in overtime.
"Throughout the 2014 season, the members of our University of Dubuque Men’s Soccer Program showed tremendous determination and perseverance," said Head Coach Brad Johnson. "After a number of close matches throughout non-conference play, the Spartans really started to click at the right time leading to a 4-2-1 mark in conference play. They proved to be a contender in the always tough Iowa Conference and nearly made the IIAC Tournament Championship after tough semifinal loss."
The Spartans' fate could've gone either way after finishing with a record of 2-3-1 in their final six games that included four overtime bouts.
Wiley finished his four year career ranked fifth in UD history in career shots (62) and fifth in career assists (14). Wiley also holds the UD record for multi-assist games (3) in a season. The Mannheim, Germany native earned his first IIAC honor after being selected to the second team.
Senior defender Will Hirsch also finished his career with an IIAC second team honor, his first All-IIAC award. Hirsch anchored the back line in the past two seasons, starting 34 of 35 games.
Hernandez climbed the UD charts after concluding the season ranked second in shots on goal in a season (34). The Madrid, Spain became the eighth Spartan named to the All-Iowa Conference first team. Hernandez garnered Honorable Mention All-IIAC accolades a year ago.
"The Spartans featured an incredible lineup, as 31 members of the program saw action in a varsity match. Throughout the season, Spartan fans saw points recorded from 11 players on the roster while the team collected a number of accolades during the year," said Coach Johnson. "On behalf of UD Soccer, I would like to thank our seniors for their tremendous commitment and contributions to the program over the years. Go Spartans!"

The Spartans sustained a 2-1 loss in the first round of the IIAC tournament after facing a 2-0 deficit thanks to two converted penalty kicks. Alassane Doukoure scored UD’s lone goal in the 85th minute as the Spartans upset bid over Simpson, the four seed, fell short.
A slow start out of the gate (1-7-1) that included a pair of overtime losses didn’t deter the Spartans from going on a roll as the season reached its conclusion. The Spartans won five of seven matches starting with the second game of the IIAC season. Simpson ended their run in the final game of the IIAC regular season.

Winkler finished Top-5 in UD history in numerous categories including: Game Winners (3rd, 10), Penalty Kicks Made (3rd, 3), Shots Attempted (4th, 169), and Shots on Goal (4th, 75), Goals (5th, 27), and Points (5th, 63).
Budding freshman Gonzalo Hernandez paced the Spartans with 51 shots and placed 19 of those on goal. The Honorable Mention All-IIAC honoree notched two game winners in back-to-back games against Grinnell in 1-0 overtime win on October 9 and at Coe in 2-1 triumph on October 12.
The Spartans return eight of their starters who started 11+ games and bring back 12 of their 22 season goals.
