Men's Soccer Shut Out in Second Half of Loss to Mount Mercy

The score stayed that way until the 69th minute when the Mustangs got behind the defense to score the go-ahead goal. Mount Mercy added an insurance goal in the five minutes later in the 74th minute.

C-SC, which had four shots in each half, had two good opportunities in the final 45 minutes. The first came from Irgen Hasanaj, who found himself alone at the six-yard line. Hasanaj couldn't get a solid attempt and the Mustang goalkeeper made the save,

The second opportunity came from Ethan Wilkinson-Felgate who came in from the right wing and put a decent shot on goal.

The Wildcats are scheduled to play this Saturday, Sept. 20, at nationally-ranked Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo. Game time is slated for 3:30 p.m. at Gregg-Mitchell Field.
