WWCC Gets 1st Region Road Win Since 2009
On Wednesday in Sterling Colorado the Plainsmen of Northeastern Junior College and the Mustangs of Western Wyoming Community College played for the 2nd time of the season. The first half saw the Mustangs have a lot of control and shots but no goals. Taylor Egbert did hit one shot off of the crossbar. WWCC outshot NJC 11 - 3 in the 1st half but the halftime score was 0 - 0.
In the second half the Mustangs cleaned up a lot in the offensive third of the field and scored 4 goals. The first goal was from Taylor Egbert in the 57th minute, the Egbert goal was assisted from Jarom Stuart. The 71st minute saw the 2nd Mustang goal when Andrew Newbold got a square pass from Logan Anderson and Newbold pushed the ball past the Plainsmen keeper for the goal. Six minutes later Taylor Egbert got his 2nd goal of the match when he kicked a 25 yard free kick into the top left corner. The last Mustang goal was also unassisted, when in the 85th minute when Logan Anderson drew a foul in the penalty area and also converted the penalty kick. Sadly, the WWCC defense and keeper, Cory Thibeault, could not keep the shutout as the NJC Plainsmen were able to put in a blocked shot in the 90th minute. The final score was 4 - 1. The win brings the WWCC record to 6 - 2 - 0 and 3 - 1 - 0 in Region IX play.
