Box Score
OBERLIN, Ohio – Otterbein University men's soccer tallied a third-straight road win Saturday afternoon, scoring two second-half goals en route to a 3-1 win at Oberlin College.
Â
The Cardinals, in the middle of a seven-game road stretch, move to 4-3 on the season after a third-consecutive win over a school from the highly competitive North Coast Athletic Conference. Otterbein also recently defeated nationally-ranked Ohio Wesleyan University and Hiram College.
Â
The Cards scored almost as soon as the contest began, getting a goal from leading-scorer Jared Pulliam just 37 seconds in as he converted a corner-kick header from classmate Conor Holland.
Â
Oberlin evened the matchup midway through the opening period, seeing John Ingham dribble and shoot off a short corner at the 17:59 mark. The contest would eventually head to intermission locked at 1-1.
Â
Holland would help set up a pair of scores in the second half for Otterbein, first sending a ball into the box where 6'6" freshman Gavin Koerner was there to head in eventual game-winner, in the 66th minute, for the first goal of his young career.
Â
Otterbein tallied an insurance goal just five minutes later when Holland found Reid Wolfe for yet another header off a corner-kick attempt. Â The Cardinals have now recorded eight second-half goals in their last three outings.
Â
The back and forth match featured a combined 35 shots and 13 corner kicks. Both Mack Stamper, Otterbein, and Oidie Kuijpers, Oberlin, came up with five saves in their respective goals.
Â
The Cardinals continue their road stretch this coming Wednesday evening, heading to Cincinnati for a 7:30 p.m. outing at The College of Mount St. Joseph.
