The Webster University men's soccer team lost to Illinois Wesleyan University, 3-0, on September 27 at the Soccer Park.  The Gorloks had some chances in the first half but trailed 1-0 at the half, and the Titans popped in two in the second to secure the win.

The Titans had the only score of the first half, taking at 1-0 lead at the 31:30 mark.  Wesleyan had just a 7-6 edge in shots over Webster, but had three shots on goal against Gorlok keeper Kyle Hertel (FR, Sandpoint, ID/Sandpoint).  Hertel was named the SLIAC Defensive Soccer Player of the Week the previous day.

Webster outshot Wesleyan in the second half, 11-5, but couldn't find the net.  The Titans added insurance goals at 74:32 and 79:10 for the 3-0 final, the last goal coming on a blast from outside the box, taking the Gorlok defense by surprise.  Hertel took the loss, and is 1-2 on the season

The last two meetings between the Gorloks and Titans had gone into overtime with Webster losing 3-2 in OT in 2014 and tying 2-2 in 2OT in 2013. 

Webster falls to 3-6 on the season.  Illinois Wesleyan evens its season record at 4-4-1.  The Gorloks travel to Mt. Pleasant, IA, on October 1 to face Iowa Wesleyan University, and to Fulton, MO, to face Westminster College on October 5.
