DURANGO, Colo. – September 26, 2014 – Redshirt freshman Malik Badawi's first goal of the season proved to be the game-winning goal as the Fort Lewis College men's soccer team defeated University of Colorado Colorado Springs Friday afternoon at Dirks Field, 1-0.  The shutout win was the Skyhawks second shutout win in three games (W, 2-0 at Adams State on Sept. 17, 2014).
 
Badawi found the back of the net at 62:25.  His goal came off of a corner kick from Austin Derksen.  After two Skyhawk shot attempts in front of the goal, Badawi headed it into the back of the net.
