Springfield, MA – Senior midfielder Dan Mendoza (Hackensack, NJ, Hackensack) and freshman forward Mike Olla (Bloomfield, NJ, St. Benedict's Prep) each scored once as sixth-ranked Montclair State knocked off host Western New England 2-0 in the championship game of the Soccer City Shootout on Sunday afternoon.

Olla was named the Offensive Most Valuable Player of the Tournament while junior Jon Krzysik (Clifton, NJ, Paramus Catholic) earned Defensive MVP honors as the Red Hawks moved to 2-0 on the young season.

For the second straight day, MSU dominated its opponent holding a 27-10 advantage in shots. Still the game remained scoreless until the 37:53 mark when Mendoza took a pass from sophomore Trey Leggett (Stockton, NJ, Hunterdon Central) before finding the back of the net giving Montclair a 1-0 lead.

The goal was the 36th career tally for Mendoza, a First-Team All-America selection in 2012. He moved within two goals of John Smith for eighth place on the all-time MSU list.

Mendoza's goal would turn out to be all the Red Hawks would need however MSU would add an insurance goal at the 72:18 mark when Olla netted his second goal in as many days.

Goalkeeper Frank Buchel (Voorhees, NJ, Eastern Regional) stopped a pair of shots to record the first shutout of his career in his second career start. Buchel played 82 minutes of scoreless action in Saturday's first-round win versus Emmanuel.

In addition Olla and Krzysik, the Red Hawks also placed juniors Joe Borrajo (Clifton, NJ, Clifton) and Maxx Wurzburger (Glen Rock, NJ, Glen Rock) on the All-Tournament Team.

Montclair State returns to action on Wednesday, September 4 as they host Hunter College in its home opener at MSU Soccer Park beginning at 5:00 pm.
