Wesley Soccer Week #2

Wesley vs. Richard Stockton - After a few good days of training the players felt positive about their upcoming game with #3 Regionally Ranked Stockton. The players came out of the locker room with a strong and physical start to the game. The game remained scoreless after 44 minutes of play until a wacky play that left a Stockton player alone with a one v one with the keeper. With under 50 seconds to play in the half Richard Stockton took the early 1-0 lead. The young Wolverines kept their heads up and continued to press on in the second half. Yet within a 5 minute span Stockton took command of the game with a 3-0 lead and would not look back. The Wesley defense held the Osprey to only 11 shots and 2 corners, yet the Wolverines could not get on the board. Wesley will look to turn it around vs. Cabrini College.

Wesley vs. Cabrini - Heading into the game with Cabrini I knew we would be down another starter when Junior Captain Sara Gergen got injured vs. Stockton. Our starting lineup just got younger when the Wolverines started all first year players in the back. The Wolverines continued their strong defensive soccer led by first year players Sarah Doyle, Brittany MacNeil and Hannah Hardman. After a scoreless first half, the Wolverines raised the pressure on the Cabrini backs and was rewarded with Kaitlin Barry's second goal of the season. Sydney Kahan recorded her second shut out of the season and came away with 3 saves on the night. Wesley evened its record at 2-2.
