MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WLCSports.com) – Wisconsin Lutheran College suffered a 5-0 Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference setback to Milwaukee School of Engineering on Wednesday at Viets Field.

The Raiders (5-4-3, 4-1-2 NACC) jumped out to a fast start when Nico Picha converted a penalty kick just 22 seconds into the match. MSOE extended its lead in the 15th minute as Owen Pacetti scored off an assist from Steven Thomas, and Juan Pablo Escobar added an unassisted tally in the 41st minute to give the hosts a 3-0 advantage at the break.

The Raiders added two more second-half goals to secure the victory. Andrew Calderon found the back of the net in the 61st minute off a feed from Emerson Rush, and Nate Gendrich capitalized on a penalty kick in the 67th minute for the final 5-0 margin.

MSOE controlled the offensive flow throughout the contest, outshooting the Warriors 25-3, and holding an 8-2 edge in corner kicks.

Senior Marco Sanchez-Flores (Racine, Wis.), junior JJ Wiedel (Waukesha, Wis.), and freshman JC Vazquez-Aguilar (Milwaukee, Wis.) registered one shot apiece to lead WLC (2-8-1, 1-4-1 NACC). Junior goalkeeper Owen Gault (Moline, Ill.) played the full 90 minutes in net, recording six saves.

Picha and Ditar Useni paced the Raiders' attack with a game-high four shots each. In goal, Christian Dershem played over 65 scoreless minutes to earn the win, and Dean Schaefer logged nearly 25 minutes of relief.

Wisconsin Lutheran returns to NACC play on Saturday when it travels to Chicago to face Illinois Tech (6-4-2, 3-2-2 NACC). Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Stuart Field.
