The Bears played just once over the opening weekend, and that was all the Japanese forward needed to score a program-record tying four goals to defeat a solid Seattle side 4-1. The goal-scoring outburst is a welcome development for a dynamic forward who scored five as an All-MVC second team selection last season.
