BATTLE TESTED COYOTES OPEN KCAC PLAY WITH SWEEP OF STERLING
By: David Toelle, KWU Sports Information

Kansas Wesleyan’s soccer teams opened KCAC play with a pair of wins over Sterling College on Saturday in Sterling. The women posted a 5-0 win, while the men came away with a 3-0 decision over the Warriors.

Wesleyan’s teams wrapped up one of the most difficult non-conference slates of any school in the conference on Wednesday at nationally ranked Park. The Coyote women faced five teams that were ranked inside the NAIA Top 25 at one point during the year, and the men have faced several teams that have also been ranked at one point or another, including the 2006 national champions in Graceland University.

“Our very, very difficult non-conference schedule has gotten us prepared for the conference,” head coach Mike Dibbini. “We are a stronger team after facing this incredible competition.”

Jose Garay scored twice and assisted on KWU’s other goal as the men picked up the 3-0 win over Sterling. Wesleyan controlled the match offensively, outshooting the Warriors 25-8 in the match. Garay’s first score came at the 21-minute mark when he took a feed from Mario Rodriguez and found the net. Garay got goal number two in the 41st minute and then assisted on Marlon Beach’s score in the 48th minute.

“It was a good start to our conference season,” Dibbini said. “Both teams played well today, and I hope the trend continues the rest of the season.”
