Van Der Luit’s first goal of the night in the 21st<\/sup> minute and a goal by senior forward Craig Barker<\/a> in the 28th<\/sup> minute quickly put the Fire ahead 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lions answered in the 28th<\/sup> minute with a goal by Caleb Acosta to cut the deficit to 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEU responded with a score by Funk in the 31st<\/sup> minute which was answered by FMU via Jose Romero in the 39th<\/sup> minute. Funk registered his second goal of the night, and Southeastern’s fifth of the first half, as time expired to earn the Fire a 5-2 advantage heading into the half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fire opened up the second half with four unanswered goals. Barker scored his second of the day in the 57th<\/sup> minute, while Van Der Luit recorded his second goal of the day in the 62nd<\/sup> minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Van Der Luit notched the hat trick in the 85th<\/sup> minute and pushed his season goal total to 20. The Chicago native is now one goal away from tying the single-season program record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Funk logged his hat trick with 37 seconds remaining in the contest to push his season goal total to seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “This is a team that is together and ready for the next phase as we enter the conference tournament,” added Coach Roberts. “We will enjoy this championship and get ready for the tournament.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fire will receive a bye in The Sun Conference Tournament to the semifinals on Tuesday November 12 with opponent to be determined.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The No. 10 Southeastern University men’s soccer team defeated the Florida Memorial University Lions 9-3 this evening in their regular season finale.
