2012 Scrimmage Season Underway

On Saturday the 2012 version of the WWCC Mustangs started their scrimmage season by traveling to Sandy Utah to face off against the LDS Business College Lions.  This was the first such meeting between the two schools.  On a very warm and muggy morning the Mustangs started the scoring in the scrimmage when in the 8th minute Taylor Egbert kicked a ball past the LDSBC keeper.  The score stayed the same at 1- 0 until the LDSBC caught the WWCC defense in transition and got a 1 on 1 opportunity with the WWCC keeper Mitch Jensen in the 35th minute and LDSBC got their only goal of the match.  WWCC stormed back as Greg Howard scored his first goal as a Mustang in the 40th minute with an assist by Ashenafi Negeri.  The scored was 2 to 1 in favor of the Mustangs at the half time break.

The Mustangs seemed to own the second half as Steven Shelley scored his first goal of his sophomore campaign in the 51st minute off of a Logan Anderson assist.  Ashenafi Negeri added the 4th Mustang goal int he 57th minute when he put home a rebound from a Taylor Egbert shot that hit off of the post.  Taylor Egbert finished the scoring in the 83rd minute when he collected a nice through ball from Steven Shelley and scored his second goal of the match.  14 new Mustangs got their first action in the Red, Black and White including; Mitch Jensen, Taylor West, DJ Searcy, Tyler Wilkinson, Bernie Manuel, Richard Harris, Greg Howard, Jared Jess, Nathan Cutler, Ashenafi Negeri, Adrian Sanchez, Jose Rangel, Nathan Pierce and Derek Smith.  8 Sophomores continued their playing career are; Christian Mendoza, Mitch Cooper, Taylor Egbert, Cody Nice, Logan Anderson, Steven Shelley, Taylor Chesnovar and Brandon Bushman.
