#17 Trinidad State Junior College Downs the Mustangs

A day after the first WWCC victory in La Junta CO over Otero Junior College the Mustangs took on the #17 Trinidad State Junior College Trojans in Trinidad CO.  The Mustangs changed formations to try to slow down the TSJC attack.  Just when the changed seemed to work, the first TSJC goal was scored in the 15th minute when two Trojans overloaded the right zone and slipped the ball past Austin Pinter in the WWCC goal.  The Trojans did not waste any time in adding to their lead when they scored the second goal in the 20th minute off of a corner kick which was headed home.  The halftime score was 2 - 0 in favor for TSJC.
The second half was much like the first with a lot of pressure from the Trojans and little attack and possession for the Mustangs.  Another corner kick proved to be a goal scoring opportunity for the Trojans in the 72nd minute with another headed goal from TSJC.  The Trojan lead was 3 - 0 and looked to perhaps stay at that score when in the 89th minute another Trojan goal was scored.  This goal was again on the right side of the field after a ball was not cleared and was corralled by the Trojans who put it into the net against the WWCC keeper, Kyle Mivshek.  The loss brings the Mustangs record to 6 - 4 - 0, with the Mustangs still atop of the Region IX North.  Trinidad State is the team that is in first position in the Region IX South.
