SUPERIOR, Wis. – The UW-Superior men's soccer team clinched at least a share of the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference regular-season title with a 4-0 win over Minnesota Morris at NBC Spartan Sports Complex Saturday.
 
UWS (11-3-2, 7-0-0) is now six points clear of second-place St. Scholastica and can sew up the league title with either a victory Tuesday over Northwestern or a Saints' loss at Northland Wednesday.
 
The Yellowjackets used three second-half goals to gain separation from the Cougars. Sophomore Blake Perry (Anoka, Minn./Anoka) scored in the 51st and 76th minutes, sandwiched by a Miguel Ocampo (St. Louis Park, Minn./St. Louis Park) goal in the 52nd.
 
Junior Esteban Badillo-Ramirez (Minneapolis, Minn./Fridley) scored his first NCAA goal, opening the scoring in the 32nd minute.
 
Dalton VonKaenel (Eagan, Minn./Eagan) made his return to the UWS net after a four-match absence due to injury. He made one save in 86 minutes before giving way to Ulrik Lager (Vollen, Norway/Asker VGS), himself returning from injury. Lager also stopped one shot in final four minutes.
 
The 'Jackets outshot Morris, 31-3, overall and 13-2 in shots on target. Superior did not allow the Cougars a shot attempt in the first half, while taking 19 itself.
 
Jake Peterson stopped 12 shots in the Morris net in a losing effort. UMM fell to 4-13-overall and 2-4-0 in the UMAC.
 
UWS hosts the Eagles at 3:30 p.m., on Tuesday.
