Box Score Kris Brown and Mike Wells scored in the opening six minutes of the first half to lead the Webster University men's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Spalding University (Ky.) Wednesday (Oct. 23) in Louisville.

The Gorloks have won seven of their last eight games and outscored their opponents 16-5 during that span.

Brown (Wentzville, MO / St. Charles CC), a junior midfielder, gave Webster a 1-0 lead in the fifth minute with his fifth goal in six games. Freshman forward BJ Dryer (St. Louis, MO / Pattonville) was credited with the assist.

About a minute after Brown's goal, Wells (St. Louis, MO / McCluer North), a junior midfielder, recorded his fourth game-winning goal of the season. Wells ranks third in game-winning tallies among all SLIAC players this season.
