On a very hot day in Gillette WY the WWCC Mustangs faced off for the first time with Region IX opponent Gillette College Pronghorns. The match was pretty wild with a very aggressive GC team and a WWCC team trying to find its identity. Gillette scored first in the 6th minute. Briston Lowell scored a goal in the 15th minute to even the score off of a Josh Abplanalp assist. The Pronghorns scored in the 24th minute off of a penalty kick. The Mustangs again scored to even the match when Jesse Lopez converted on a beautiful free kick from around 28 yards out in the 29th minute. Again the Pronghorns scored to take the lead in the 43rd minute. Gillette took a 3 to 2 lead into the halftime break.
In the second half the Mustangs made the adjustments to make the Pronghorns more one dimensional. WWCC added a tying goal from Briston Lowell in the 80th minute from a Jesse Lopez assist. The last 10 minutes of regulation were good for the Mustangs as they created a couple of chances but were not able to finish any. After 90 minutes of play the score was tied 3 to 3 and the two teams headed into NJCAA Sudden Victory Overtime periods.
In the extra 20 minutes neither team was able to score a goal and the match was called a draw after 110 minutes. The tied helps the Mustangs to a 1 - 4 - 1 overall record and a 0 - 1 - 1 record in Region IX North play.
