Sterling's summary of the home conference game against Kansas Wesleyan:

LACKLUSTER PERFORMANCE LEADS TO KCAC LOSS

10/05/2008 - The Sterling College men's soccer team opened conference play against Kansas Wesleyan University, the defending KCAC champs, with a very uninspired performance. KWU dispatched the Warriors 3-0, handing the Warriors their second loss of the week, and first conference loss. The Coyote's Jose Garay led the way for KWU with a goal in the 21st and 40th minutes, giving them a comfortable 2-0 lead at the half. Wesleyan's Marlon Beach added a third goal in the 47th minute on a throw-in by Garay, and that is all that was needed as the Warriors were unable to generate any sort of dangerous attack. Sterling managed only one shot on goal that came early when Jorge Bueso got behind the KWU defenders in the penalty box only to have his shot saved by Coyote GK Robert Carillo. "I was very disappointed with our performance against Kansas Wesleyan.

They are a great team, and we knew that the best chance we would have to beat them would be to play more aggressively and outwork them, and we simply did not do that; therefore the result isn't surprising at all," noted Warrior coach, David Underwood.

The Warriors will try to quickly rebound from the loss as they host Southwestern College on Tuesday afternoon in Sterling at 4 p.m. The Sterling men's soccer team is 6-3 on the season.
