The University of Guam Men's Soccer Team ended its regular season on April 14 with a 3-2 victory over the Crushers FC at the Guam Football Association National Training Center. The Tritons are the GFA Budweiser Amateur League champions and already had the championship already in hand based on points earned from the season.

The Tritons got out to a 2-0 lead as Ryoga Okada opened the scoring for UOG 20 minutes into the match, and James Yang added a second goal not too long afterwards. The Crushers scored their first goal before the end of the half to cut the Triton lead to 2-1 at halftime.

Both teams scored a goal in the second half, and the Tritons came out on top with a final score of 3-2, UOG's only victory of the season won by just one goal.
