Road Win for Mustangs in Powell

On Wednesday in Powell WY the Mustangs squared off against the Trappers of Northwest College in a crucial Region IX North match.

In a very even match up the Mustangs did a good job of trying to find possession will still going forward and varying their attack against the NWC defense.  After some close calls especially early on in the match the Mustangs were the first team to find a goal, when in the 37th minute Colton Harrison scored a header off of a Jesse Lopez.  The Harrison goal was enough for the Mustangs to have a 1 to 0 lead at the break.

In the second half not much changed as WWCC continued to spread the ball around the field and made it difficult for NWC to find space offensively.  Joe Venhaus made 7 saves for the Mustangs in the shutout win for him.  WWCC scored an insurance goal in the 77th minute when Jesse Lopez passed a ball to Javier Arvayo who muscled his way past the NWC defender and beat the NWC keeper.  The final score of 2 to 0 improves the WWCC record to 4 - 5 - 1 and 2 - 1 - 1 in Region IX North play.

Mustang Man of the Match: Jesse Lopez who assisted on both goals in the match.
