San Francisco, CA — A five-goal day, highlighted by a career-best five-point performance by junior midfielder Kristof Urbanyi, helped lead the Academy of Art University men's soccer team to a 5-0 shutout win Saturday over Pacific West Conference opponent Chaminade at CCSF.
 
Urbanyi scored the Urban Knights' (5-9, 3-5 PacWest) first two goals Saturday – both in the first half – and later assisted on their final goal of the game in the 90th minute to ice the victory. Urbanyi now leads the Knights with 11 points (4 goals, 3 assists) this season after entering 2014 with six total career points in two years (2 goals, 2 assists).
 
The 5-0 blowout was Academy of Art's largest margin of victory this season and largest since they defeated Chaminade 6-0 almost a year to the day – on Oct. 26, 2013, in Honolulu. The triumph was the Urban Knights' fourth shutout win and snapped a four-game losing streak.
 
Urbanyi's first goal came in the 54th minute on a penalty kick after ART U and Chaminade (3-10, 2-7 PacWest) played a scoreless first half. The Urban Knights outshot the Silverswords 8-2 in the first half but only put one shot on goal, keeping both sheets clean until Urbanyi converted the PK to make it 1-0.
 
It would be Urbanyi again on another set piece, this time a free kick eight yards outside of the goalkeeper box, in the 74th minute to make it 2-0. After a Chaminade foul, the junior lofted a shot from the left side that found the inside of the right post for the goal.
 
Academy of Art would add three more goals to its total in the final 12 minutes of play. Junior defender Runar Gudbjartsson scored his first of the year in the 79th minute after fellow defenseman Lennart Fleschhut sent a deflected corner kick back into the box, finding Gudbjartsson's foot for the tap-in score and a 3-0 advantage.
 
Freshman midfielder Jón Jóhannesson scored his first career goal in the 86th minute when he went sliding into the box to tap in a pass from senior forward Frederik Nagel, beating a defender and putting the ball inside the right post to make it 4-0.
 
Finally, Nagel also found the back of the net for his second of the season, beating the defense to get to a through pass from Urbanyi and slipping the ball left past the goalkeeper with just 29 seconds left on the clock.
 
Freshman goalkeeper Alejandro Escobedo made two saves to earn his third shutout victory of the season.
 
The Urban Knights now head out on the road on a three-game PacWest road trip that will take them to Azusa Pacific (Thursday), Dixie State (Saturday) and Holy Names (Nov. 6).
