Kansas Wesleyan scored four goals in the second half to pull away and defeat the Sterling College Warriors 5-0 on Wednesday night at JRI Hospitality Stadium at Graves Family Sports Complex.
Â
After scoring right out of the gates the last couple matches, the Coyotes battled with the Warriors over the first 37 minutes of the match.
Â
KWU had chances early though, by
Gerardo Garcia in the fourth and
Noel Zimbeva in the fifth.
Â
Wesleyan's next good scoring chance came in the 30th minute as
Mika Wernicke hit the crossbar with a shot in front of the goal and his follow shot would just miss left.
Â
Finally in the 38th minute the Coyotes got one in.
Kamille Kum scored it on a sliding shot after receiving a pass from
Mateo Hoyos after Hoyos had taken the ball almost to the touch line before sending it back to Kum about eight yards out for the shot.
Â
In the 65th minute the Coyotes got another goal. This time it was
Pierre Gueguen sliding one in after getting a pass from
Jakob Treitl to make it 2-0.
Â
Wesleyan's third goal came nearly five minutes later as Wernicke scored it on a header off a pass from Kum.
Â
KWU's fourth goal was an own goal as a Sterling defender was unable to clear a ball off a corner kick set piece by the Coyotes, instead knocking it in the goal.
Â
Juan Lozada got KWU's fifth tally of the night in the 87th minute off an assist by
Leon Tomno.
Â
KWU dominated the match outshooting Sterling 27-4 in the match. Wernicke and Garcia had four shots each and Kum added four.
Santiago Pagnutti had one save in goal while recording the clean sheet.
Â
The Coyotes are back in action on Saturday, heading to Bartlesville to take on Oklahoma Wesleyan in a match between the top two teams in the KCAC.
