WESTERVILLE, Ohio – The Otterbein men's soccer team played host to Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) foe Baldwin Wallace Saturday night inside of Memorial Stadium, defeating the Yellow Jackets 4-1. The Cardinals have now won back-to-back matches and currently sit at 5-4 overall, 2-1 OAC, while Baldwin Wallace falls to 6-6-1, 1-2 OAC.

Otterbein would respond in a timely fashion three minutes later, as Pau Piang intercepted a pass from a BW defender and showed off some fancy footwork. Piang beat the same defender and finished the scoring play, evening the scoreboard at 1-1.

Piang, Mohammed, and Erick Juarez-Manning all attempted two shots at the break.

Mohammaed added another goal in the 60th minute, as this time the freshman beat a Yellow Jacket defender and placed the ball in the top-right shelf of the goal for a 3-1 Cardinal lead.

Another freshman would soon make an impact, this time as Ty Borton answered the bell by registering his first collegiate goal in the 69th minute of action. He beat a BW defender and went bar in for the finish.

The Cardinals, who owned a 21-14 edge in total shots, will next host John Carroll Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
