History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n ST. LOUIS, Mo. \u2013 Taking on its first ranked opponent of the season did not faze the RV Washington University in St. Louis men’s soccer team, as the Bears knocked off No. 7 North Park 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon at Francis Olympic Field. With the win, the Bears improve to 5-1 on the season.<\/p>\n It was a quiet first half on the scoreboard for the first 40 minutes.<\/p>\n Both teams forced play deep in the offensive side of the pitch. However, it was in the 43rd minute when senior Zach Susee<\/a> took a corner kick. It was knocked out but he eventually found the ball and passed it into the box, right in front of the goal where junior Quentin Gomez<\/a> right-footed the ball into the back of the net, giving WashU a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n Less than 10 minutes into the second half, the Vikings were able to score a similar goal to the Bears’ from the first half when Emil Svenander scored in the 55th minute to tie the score up at 1-1.<\/p>\n It was late in the 64th minute when first-year Wole Adeoye<\/a> was fouled in the box, which allowed junior Ethan Wirtschafter<\/a> to take a penalty kick. Wirtschafter fired a shot to the left as the Vikings’ goalie dove to the right, and the Bears took a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n Both teams remained aggressive, again forcing play in their offensive zone, but saves by both goalies kept anyone from adding to the scoreboard as WashU secured the 2-1 win.<\/p>\n WashU outshot NPU 9-7 while the Vikings had the 4-2 lead in shots on goal. The Bears were also able to force six corner kicks to just three for North Park.<\/p>\n Junior Cal L’Hommedieu<\/a> played all 90 minutes in goal, making three saves to earn his fifth win of the season.<\/p>\n WashU is back on the field on Saturday, Sept. 20 when it hosts Wheaton. Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. Prior to the start, the Bears will honor their five seniors with a special recognition ceremony on the field.<\/p>\n ————————————–
