WAUWATOSA, Wis. (WLCSports.com) - Wisconsin Lutheran College opened its homestand with a bang on Wednesday by blanking Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference foe Concordia Wisconsin 2-0 at Warriors Soccer Field.
The Warriors (3-2-2, 2-1-0 NACC), who defeated the Falcons (3-4-0, 1-2-0 NACC) for the first time at home since 2016, returned to its home turf for the first time since September 3 following a four-game road swing.
WLC wasted little time finding the score column, as freshman
Hector Cervantes (Milwaukee, Wis.) gave the hosts a 1-0 lead in the 5th minute when his shot from nearly 25 yards out found its way into the bottom left corner of the net. Wisconsin Lutheran, which maintained its one-goal advantage through halftime, out-shot CUW 6-3 in the opening 45 minutes.
The Warriors added some insurance midway through the second half when senior
Ben Meaux (Franklin, Wis.) finished off a loose ball from a corner kick in the 67th minute for the 2-0 lead. WLC out-shot Concordia Wisconsin 9-5 in the second half, with senior
Puma Galvan (Racine, Wis.) making two saves.
