The Hawai'i Hilo Men's Soccer squad went 3-3 last month as junior Colby Lee helped provide the offensive power in five of those contests.
Lee totaled seven points on two goals and three assists, netting the game-winner in a 1-0 victory over Concordia University Irvine. Against Biola, Lee opened the scoring in just the third minute of the game and later assisted on the game-winning goal in the 57th minute of the 3-1 triumph. He also added assists against HPU and Westmont.
Lee leads the team with 15 total points and is at the top in both goals and assists at five apiece. The Utah native also ranks in the top 10 of the PacWest (conference-only contests) in all three categories.
