Box Score

RICHMOND, Ind. – The Cardinal men's soccer boosted its unbeaten streak to five-straight with a 2-0 win over Earlham (Ind.) on Saturday afternoon at Matlack Field.

Otterbein (5-2-1 overall) runs its win streak against Earlham to four-straight dating back to 2013, recording its first shutout in the series on Saturday.

The Cards saw plenty of first-half scoring opportunities after unloading eight of their 10 shots on goal, holding the Quakers to just three shots. Otterbein broke the scoreless tie in the 28th minute following a foul called inside the Earlham box, setting up freshman Tiger Pham for a penalty kick.

Pham promptly netted the penalty kick for his second goal of the season, giving the Cards a 1-0 lead. Otterbein managed to head two shots toward the Quaker goal nearing the end of the opening frame, both saved by goalkeeper Peter Kashatus.  

Freshman Zach Barwick added to the Cardinal lead in the 63rd minute, scoring his first collegiate goal off a shot past Kashatus into the back of the net. Otterbein tacked on a late goal in the final minute of action, as sophomore Erick Juarez-Manning found the back of the net for the first time this season.

The Cardinals ended the match with a 19-9 advantage in shots, recording nine of them on goal to the Quakers' mark of four. Both teams played aggressively throughout the contest combining for 17 fouls and three yellow cards. Cardinal goalkeeper's Collin Hoffmann and Mack Stamper again split the game in goal, combining for four saves.

Otterbein concludes its two-game slate away from home on Wednesday with a trip to Oberlin. First kick is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Oberlin, Ohio.
