Western Finishes Non Region Play with Big Win vs UW Club

On a Monday afternoon in a very cold and windy Laramie WY the Mustangs of Western Wyoming played against the Cowboys of the University of Wyoming Club Soccer team.

This is a renewal of a rivalry that was a yearly occurrence most of the first years of the WWCC program.  The scoring and domination of the Mustangs happened early and often in the match.  All players that were eligible were able to see a lot of minutes of play.  The scoring in the first half was lead by Josh Abplanalp in the 2nd minute, unassisted.  Next for the scoring for the Mustangs was Seth Romsa in the 22nd minute the assist going to Matthew Ochoa.  In the 32nd minute Briston Lowell scored unassisted and then finished off his brace, 2 goals, in the half with a goal in the 41st minute the assist sent by Chad Allgaier.  The halftime score was 4 to 0 in favor of WWCC.

The second half was another great 45 minutes for the Mustangs.  Kyle Mivhsek and Benji Ayala would share the shutout with both keepers playing one half each.  Grayson Barnes scored just 1 minute into the second half receiving the ball from Kyle Tilley.  The final score of the match was from Matthew Ochoa in the 79th minute.  The offense exploded for 6 goals on the day they most of the season.  The 6 to 0 score was final and the win lifts the Mustang's record to 8 - 5 - 1.

Mustang Man of the Match:  Briston Lowell for a brace in the match during the Mustang offensive explosion.
