Box Score
The MNU Men's Soccer team was back in action this afternoon at Pioneer Field to take on KCAC opponent Ottawa University. The first half was scoreless as the Pioneers wasted several chances to score. Much of the possession went to MNU and the Braves were getting chances from counter attacks and set pieces. MNU outshot OU 7-5 in the first half.
Â
The second half took a physical toll on each team. Players were beginning to show the effects of the weather and MNU's possession began to take its toll on the Ottawa players. The Pioneers were creating chances but it seemed like it would be one of those days where nothing was going to go in. That finally changed in the 82nd minute when MNU's
Rodrigo Rivas scored off of a corner kick by
Matias Fernandez. This gave MNU the 1-0 lead and that is how the game ended. MNU out-shot OU 8-1 in the second half and for the game they had an 11-3 advantage in corner kicks. Chris Eriksson was credited with 2 saves in earning the shutout for the Pioneers.
Â
The guys move their season record to 4-1-1. Next up is a series of road games starting with #14 Oklahoma Wesleyan (2-1) on Wednesday the 11th at 4:00.
