Roman stepped up with the championship-winning moment, burying the decisive goal in the 64th minute of Tech’s 2–1 victory over Rio Grande. The freshman delivered two shots on goal in the match and continued to showcase his two-way impact, adding to a strong debut season that includes three goals and six assists. His strike lifted the Golden Bears to their second win over Rio in four weeks and sealed the conference crown.
