Final Scrimmage for WWCC in Dixie

On Monday in St. George Utah the WWCC Mustangs took on the NCAA Division II Dixie State College of Utah Red Storm.  This is the third year in a row that the two teams have squared off against each other in a scrimmage.  As expected the DSC team was a little faster and controlled much of the matches possession.  WWCC was not able to mount much offense in the first half and basically just survived the first 45 minutes playing a lot of defense.  One awesome moment for the Mustangs was when Mitch Jensen goal keeper saved a penalty kick against the Red Storm in the 21st minute to keep the first half shutout.  The score at the half was 0 - 0.

The Red Storm was able to find a few holes around the WWCC defense in the second half which included the scrimmages only 2 goals.  Dixie scored in the 63rd and in the 75th minute.  Both goals came after the Red Storm had taken the ball out to the left side of the WWCC defense and passed it back inside.  All Mustangs on the trip found some playing time in the last scrimmage as starting lineups and subbing rotations are becoming set and formed for this years squad.  The Mustangs had three good chances to score when Jarom Stuart had 2 shots and Bernard Manuel had a header that was saved by the Red Storm keeper.  The final score after 90 minutes was Dixie State 2 and WWCC 0.  This was the last scrimmage for the Mustangs as the regular season will begin on Thursday August 23rd.
