RV TIGERS PICK UP STATEMENT WIN OVER NO. 14 LINDSEY WILSON
Box Score

LIMA, Ohio. – The (RV) Olivet Nazarene men's soccer program tallied their first statement win of the young season as they bested No. 14 Lindsey Wilson College 4-1 to open the UNOH College Soccer Showcase Thursday. The Tigers took advantage of a Blue Raider first-half red card followed by four different ONU scorers on their way to the upset victory.

Max Jasper set the tone early as a long ball played to the senior striker was laid off to Justin Eisenmann at midfield. Jasper proceeded to dash beyond the LW backline and was rewarded with a breakaway goal and only 1:59 coming off the game clock. The Blue Raiders fell on hard times in the 30th and 31st minute as Moussa Gueye picked up two quick yellow cards and was sent off as a result. Despite the man disadvantage, Lindsey Wilson tied up the game against the run of play at the 36:10-mark. Both sides went into halftime level, 1-1.


Halftime: (RV) Olivet Nazarene 1, (14) Lindsey Wilson 1


The Tigers made the proper adjustments at half and took advantage of the man-advantage to score three goals in the second period. Benjamin Strubelt scored his first goal of the season and fourth of his career just 2:41 into the second half. He poached a goal off keeper fumble to regain the Tiger lead. Justin Eisenmann contributed to putting the game away late as his goal in the 62nd minute and assist in the 85th minute put the match out of reach. Nick Kilian tallied his first assist of the fall and Noa Norton picked up his first career goal.


Final: (RV) Olivet Nazarene 4, (14) Lindsey Wilson 1
