Four days after meeting the Western Nebraska CC Cougars in the season finale in Scottsbluff NE the WWCC Mustangs and the WNCC Cougars faced off in the Region IX Quarterfinals. The Mustangs the #4 seed in the Region hosted the match in Rock Springs WY. The Cougars got on the board first with 2 mistakes by the WWCC defense in the 1st half. One goal came when one WWCC defender stepped for off sides and the rest of the unit did not, allowing the WNCC to run free to the WWCC goal. The other first half goal was scored when a pass back from a defender did not reach the keeper and was intercepted by an one rushing WNCC player and doubled their lead. The score at the half was WNCC 2 - WWCC 0. WWCC stormed back valiantly in the second half. The Mustangs cut the lead in half when Steven Shelley headed home a pass into the WNCC net. The Cougars found an opening in a depleted WWCC defense and scored the insurance goal to take the final lead of 3 to 1.
The loss ended the WWCC season with an overall record of 10 wins and 9 losses. This ties the most wins in one season for the WWCC Mustangs. We are very proud of what the Mustangs were able to accomplish this season and the growth they gave to the program with their effort and talent.
WWCC Mustang Man of the Match - Steven Shelley, scored the lone goal for the Mustangs and played as hard as anyone on the pitch.
