Men's Soccer Wins over OCU

From start to finish the Pioneers controlled the game. The final stats were more lopsided than the score and the team looks strong as they head into conference play.

After several more chances came up short the Pioneers went into the halftime break up 1-0. 
 
The second half started well for the Pioneers. They intensified their pressure on the Stars and began to create chances right away. The second goal came in the 56th minute. Wallace took a pass from Lucas Machado and placed a nice shot into the upper corner. Ten minutes later, Hunjak completed his brace. A header by Johannes Keisers on a corner kick hit the crossbar. Hunjak was there to head the rebound home from close range. With the Pioneers up 3-0, both teams began to substitute players and no more scoring was to be done by either team.
