#17 LCCC Downs the Mustangs

The Region IX rivarly between the LCCC Golden Eagles and the WWCC Mustangs had their second match on Wednesday in Cheyenne WY. The wind of the capitol city of WY dictated a lot of the play in the first half. LCCC had the wind at their back for the first 45 minutes and used it to their advantage. The first goal of the match came in the 12th minute when a low hard driven shot beat Cory Thibeault in the bottom right corner. WWCC played fairly well despite the wind and a top flight opponent. Taylor Chesnovar and Devin King both had good shots against the Golden Eagles in the first half. In the 42nd minute the Eagles were able to sneak another shot into the WWCC net and took a 2 - 0 halftime lead.

The wind was not as much of a factor in the match during the second half and the Mustangs came out of halftime determined to get back in the match and push their rivals into a tight match. It looked as if WWCC would get into the match when they scores their lone goal of the match in the 60th minute. Angel Muniz started the scoring play when he sent a quick ball from the left hand side of the field to the right and a wide open Taylor Egbert. Taylor beat the keeper and brought the Mustangs to within one of the LCCC team. The goal was Taylor's 11th tally of the season. That was as close as the Mustangs would come. The Golden Eagles would add scores in the 75th, 78th and 81st minute. The final score would be 5 - 1 in favor of LCCC. The final score was not indicative of how close most of the match was. The WWCC overall record is now 9 - 7 - 0 and 4 - 5 - 0 in Region IX play.
