WWCC Runs Out of Gas in the Desert vs #20 CSN

On Friday August 24th the Western Wyoming Men's Soccer Mustangs played their second Region 18 opponent of the regular season when they squared off against the Coyotes of the College of Southern Nevada, who are currently ranked #20 in the NJCAA's latest poll.

The match was played at a frantic pace in the first half with the CSN speed apparent on the outsides of the pitch while the Mustangs held their own.  After 45 minutes of play the score was scoreless.

In the second half the Mustangs continued to play tough defense while trying to build an offense and a counter attack.  The mood of the match was turned in the 66th minute when CSN scored their first goal.  The goal for the home team deflated the visiting Mustangs.  The Coyotes scored twice more in the last part of the second half in the minutes 78 and 85.  The final score was 3 - 0 in favor of CSN.  The loss brings the WWCC record down to 0 - 2 - 0 on the early 2018 season.

Mustang Man of the Match: Kingdom Wanjoku - played tireless soccer on the wings - both defense and offense.
