Kai Yamamoto - Men's Soccer

Junior goalkeeper Kai Yamamoto earned another tie in UAA play against the second-straight nationally-ranked opponent for the Tartans when he aided the team in a 1-1 result against 19th-ranked University of Chicago at home. Yamamoto tallied four saves while giving up the lone goal in the 14th minute on a shot to the upper corner that was just out of his reach. Two of Yamamoto's saves came while trailing 1-0 in the first half, as he kept the Tartans in the game while his team hit the crossbar twice. After the score was tied, Yamamoto made his third save in the 67th minute with his fourth coming in the 74th minute.
