2011 LWC Men's Soccer remains undefeated

After Surprising Start, No. 2 Lindsey Wilson Men's Soccer Tops West Virginia Tech 3-1. LWC Goals: Philip Sandrgren. Samuel Asante, Chris Williams. WVTech goal: Jonathan Day.

By Dan White

COLUMBIA, KY - A West Virginia University Institute of Technology goal in the first minute got things off to a surprising start, but it was the only score the Golden Bears could manage all game as the second ranked Lindsey Wilson College men's soccer team put together a 3-1 win on Sunday, October 16, 2011, at Walter S. Reuling Stadium.



Just 20 seconds into the game, West Virginia Tech got on top with a shocking goal from near midfield by Jonathan Day.

Noticing Blue Raider freshman goalkeeper Yuta Nomura pulled 20 feet out of the goal, Day sent a rocket in the direction of the goal that found its way despite the heavy winds on the pitch.

After falling behind early 1-0, the Blue Raiders got even just seven minutes later as freshman Philip Sandgren from Kristinstad, Sweden, took a cross from senior Moses Aduny inside the box and finished it into the back of the net for the equalizer.

Some 30 minutes later, a Golden Bear penalty in the box helped Lindsey Wilson go on top with a free kick by Chris Williams, Flint, Wales, that he buried into the back of the net to give the Blue Raiders a 2-1 lead just seven minutes before halftime.

Coming out of the break, Lindsey Wilson took 11 minutes to strike again as senior Samuel Asante, from Sunyani, Ghana, took a perfect cross from his classmate Aduny on the right side of the box and finished the score in the 56th minute.

The third goal provided enough of a cushion for Lindsey Wilson to finish off the win as neither team scored again the rest of the way.

Lindsey Wilson's offensive advantage was a large one, leading the contest in shots 19-3 and shots on goal 6-1.

Nomura played all 90 minutes in goal for the Blue Raiders, finishing without a save and just the one goal allowed. John Dunn went the distance for West Virginia Tech as well, collecting three saves and allowing all three Blue Raider scores. -DAN WHITE, Assistant Sports Information Director.
