Sheridan comes back late in match

The Mustangs were on the road to start their 2017 Region IX North campaign in Sheridan WY against the Generals of Sheridan College.  The Mustangs seemed to fix most of their defensive woes when the scoreboard read zero for both teams.

In the second half the Mustangs scored the opening goal when Briston Lowell scored a beautiful header off of a Colton Harrison assist from a corner kick.  The WWCC lead of 1 to 0 in the 48th minute would not last for the remainder of the half.  Sheridan College came out of their defensive shell and their fast counter attacking style caught Western off guard twice, SC goals were scored in the 63rd and 79th minute for Sheridan to take a 2 to 1 lead.  The Generals added an insurance goal off of a penalty kick in the 88th minute as the Mustangs struggled to created offensive chances and shots on the SC goal.  The loss brings the WWCC overall record down to 1 - 4 - 0 and the Region IX record to 0 - 1 - 0.
  
Mustang Man of the Match: Briston Lowell - for good offensive play and a beautiful header.
