Nigerian Striker Adekoya On Target As UCLA Set NCAA Record With 3 Goals In 32 Seconds

Nigerian striker Seyi Adekoya was on target as UCLA Bruins set a new record for the fastest three consecutive goals by the same team in the National Collegiate Athletic Association in their 6-1 rout of Akron.

Adekoya opened scoring after twenty minutes, firing home from ten yards, before Brian Iloski increased UCLA’s lead just before half-time.

In the second half, UCLA Bruins scored three goals in a 32-second span, with Ghanaian talent Abu Danladi bagging a brace in eleven seconds.

During the 2015 season, Adekoya was his team’s top scorer, with 12 goals (1 assist) to his name, and appeared in 20 games,  logging 1,136 minutes.

The Seattle native , who has two sisters and one brother, is a product of Seattle Sounders Academy.
