The men's soccer team lost to the Washington University Bears 2-1 at the Soccer Park on September 9. While suffering their fourth straight defeat, the Gorloks showed glimpses in the second half that some victories could be on the horizon.
A fairly dominating first half by the Bears, in which Webster mustered only one shot, only netted Washington U. one goal on a deflected shot off a defender at the 16:30 mark.
Webster had a much better effort in the second half, matching Washington U. shot for shot and save for save, tying the score 1-1 on a free kick by junior Brian Enger (Mehlville HS, STL) at 70:00. The Bears scored the winning goal on a header with six minutes left in the game. The Gorloks couldn't counter and fell to 0-4 on the young season.
Next up is Illinois Wesleyan on Sunday, September 13 at 12 noon at the Soccer Park. The Titans are 0-1-2 with a tie to Washington U. and a 3-2 loss to SLIAC conference rival Principia.
