Redlands soccer player breaks record

Few players get to leave a mark on an athletic program. Senior forward Ross Schunk will do that at the University of Redlands.

The Portland, Ore., native set the school's all-time career scoring record with a goal in the Bulldogs 4-2 win over the University of La Verne Saturday. That goal gave Schunck 126 points for his career, besting the 125 of Adam Acosta who graduated in 2005.

Earlier this season Schunk broke Acosta's career goals mark of 50. He has a team-high 12 goals and one assist this season in helping the Bulldogs (10-4-1, 9-0-1) to first place in the SCIAC.

Following Saturday's match, Redlands coach Ralph Perez handed the new career point record holder the ball that he scored the goal with in a short postgame recognition ceremony at the middle of the pitch.
