Own Goal Hurts WWCC at Sheridan

On Friday on an unseasonably hot day in Sheridan Wyoming the Sheridan Generals hosted the Western Wyoming Mustangs.  It was apparent from the start of the match that the Generals were not going to allow the Mustangs close to their goal but would allow the Mustangs ample loads of possession.
Western Wyoming had the lions share of the possession throughout the match but could never break down the Sheridan College defense to find a goal.  The only goal of the match was in the 28th minute when the ball was crossed into the WWCC box and was unintentionally deflected into the Mustang goal off of the foot of a Mustang defender.
It was a frustrating offensive match for the Mustangs who could not seem to get a good shot on target or find time in the attacking third of the field. The final score after 90 minutes was WWCC 0 - Sheridan College 1.  The Region IX North loss drops the Mustangs to second place in the Region IX North.
Mustang Man of the Match - Gunner Burrell - Gunner had 5 shots on the day and played well throughout the match.
