STERLING, Kan. – Kansas Wesleyan Men's Soccer battled the elements and the Sterling College Warriors on Wednesday at the Sterling College soccer field, and it was the Coyotes that came away with the 2-0 victory.
Both teams had to play through the less than ideal weather conditions with cool temperatures and rain and drizzle which made play difficult.
Both goals for the Coyotes came in the first half.
Linus Polster for the first goal for the Coyotes in the 36th minute as he took a pass back from a teammate after a throw-in into the box and shot high deflecting it off the cross bar and over the line for the goal.
Wesleyan's second goal came in the 44th minute on a penalty by
Jose Valdez after a Sterling foul in the penalty area.
Shots were limited by both teams with the Coyotes holding a 9-6 advantage. Valdez led the Coyotes with five. Alejandro Camacho got the win in goal for the Coyotes with three saves on the clean sheet.
KWU is back in action on Saturday heading to Bartlesville, Oklahoma to take on No. 12 ranked Oklahoma Wesleyan at 7:30 p.m.
