Another W for Western

On Friday at crossroads field in Rock Springs WY, the Northwest Kansas Technical College Mavericks squared off against the WWCC Mustangs. This is NWKTC's first season with a men's soccer team, so this was the first time for these two schools to square off on the pitch. The first half saw some good soccer and lots of passion from both sides. However neither team was able to get on the board and both teams went into the half tied 0 - 0.

The Mustangs exploded offensively in the second half while still playing great defense. Mitch Christensen starting the scoring with a 20 yard blast that went past the keeper towards the top right corner of the net. Mitch's goal was assisted by Angel Muniz. Devin King continued his hot play by scoring 2 goals in the match with assists from Jarom Stuart and Angel Muniz. Taylor Egbert was the 3rd scorer for the Mustangs, Egbert's goal was from a nice pass by Nate Sellis. Cory Thibeault and the WWCC defense earned their first shutout of the season holding the Mavericks to zero goals. The win puts the Mustang's record up to 4 - 2 - 0, and the win is the Mustang's second in a row.
