Marian Suffers First Loss of Season to Olivet Nazarene

Bourbonnais, Ill. - The No. 16 ranked men's soccer team traveled up to Bourbonnais, Ill. today to take on Olivet Nazarene in a Wednesday night showdown. After a long rain delay the Knights fell 2-1 to the Tigers and move to 4-1 overall on the year.

Olivet Nazarene opened up the game on fire with a goal in the first two minutes to take the early 1-0 lead over Marian. Samuel Wehaus fired back with a shot that was blocked by the Tigers team. Each team continued to take stabs at the goal with Olivet Nazarene recording three shots and Marian recording three as well with Sebastian Gonzalez and Gustavo Nunes tabbing a shot each and Wehaus recording one on target. Wehaus followed up with a goal at the 26th minute mark with an assist from Joao Antonio Rocha to tie the game 1-1. Olivet Nazarene continued to take chances with two shots but came up short to Mateo Garcia-Galan's efforts in goal. Josh Wesseling and Donovan Doolittle took chances but came up short with Wesseling's shot blocked and Doolittle's shot hitting the post. The Tigers took one more shot on goal before halftime but came up short to Garcia-Galan's defense ending the half 1-1.

After an hour-long lighting delay the Olivet Nazarene opened up the second half with two shots both blocked by Marian. Each team continued to fight, each recording two shots with Wesseling and Nunes recording the shots for the Knights. Nunes took a stab at another shot but came up short to a block with the Tigers following up with a shot saved by Garcia-Galan. In the 81st minute the Knights came up short handed with Regueira drawing a red card forcing the Knights to play a man down for the rest of the game. Olivet Nazarene capitalized on the foul to score a penalty kick shot and take the 2-0 lead. Doolittle attempted a last minute shot but came up short to the Tigers defense with a block to finish the game falling 2-1. 

Samuel Wehaus led the team in goals with one while Joao Antonio Rocha led the team in assists with one. Gustavo Nunes and Wehaus led the team in shots with three each while Josh Wesseling and Donovan Doolittle led the team in shots with two. In goal Mateo Garcia-Galan recorded his first loss allowing two goals and recording four saves.
