HANOVER, Indiana – Men's Soccer collected its second win in as many days Sunday afternoon in Indiana after a physical match with Hanover.

The Cardinals (2-0) scored twice in each half, while Hanover (1-1-1) scored thanks to a penalty kick early in the second half.

Head Coach Jason Griffiths on the weekend:

"It's always tough to play back-to-back games... especially away from home but our guys showed great character, discipline and grit this weekend. I'm really proud of how they managed both games."

Silver Abraham opened things up for the Cards late in the 23rd minute (22:44) when he scored his first goal of the campaign. Just 33 seconds later, Will Isaac notched his second score (23:17) to help lead the Cardinals to a 2-0 lead at the break.

Hanover cut into the lead early into the second half when they scored a penalty kick at the 46:30 mark.

Otterbein added on later in the 63rd when Hayden Vu beat the keeper for his first collegiate score. Like the first half, Gabe Sharrock scored the Cardinals fourth of the match with just 1:55 of game time passing by.
