@MUCrusadersMSOC sink Saints, set up showdown with Racers

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.- The Madonna University men's soccer team kept itself in the hunt for a second consecutive Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference regular season championship with a 2-0 win over Aquinas College at AQ Athletic Field on Saturday afternoon. The victory moves the Crusaders to 13-3 overall and 8-1 in WHAC play, just three points behind leader University of Northwestern Ohio, Madonna's opponent on Wednesday. The loss drops Aquinas to 1-14 on the year and 1-8 in league action.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • It was a wet, chilly and windy day, but the Crusaders warmed up fast as Yuri Farkas Guglielmi gave MU the lead just 7:32 into the contest. Caio Mazzo Nogueira intercepted a pass at midfield and then played Farkas through a pair of defenders and the junior was able to finish far post past a sliding keeper for his 17th tally of the season.

  • In the 73rd minute, Leonardo Gois Abonizio ran onto a poor clear attempt by the Saints and got a touch to Wagner Gameiro Febbe who sent the ball cross field to Costa Wells. Wells took a couple touches then sent the ball far post where Ludvick Asigo was able to get a diving head on the ball and finish in the back of the net for the 2-0 final.

INSIDE THE BOX

  • Madonna outshot Aquinas 19-12 in the contest which included a 9-5 margin in shots on frame. The Crusaders also had more corner kicks (7-3) and fouls (13-9).

  • Farkas paced the offense with eight shots, four on frame while Nogueira and Abonizio each added three shots with the latter putting two on frame

  • Asigo and Issei Ito each had two shots each while Wells added one

  • Joe Smith notched his fifth shutout and made five saves in 90 minutes of play

UP NEXT

  • Madonna wraps up the regular season road slate with a showdown for WHAC supremacy on Wednesday, Oct. 24 with a trip to Lima, Ohio to face No. 21 University of Northwestern Ohio at 2 p.m.
