Men's soccer battles weather, wins over OWU

WESTERVILLE, Ohio – Despite a nearly two hour weather delay, the Otterbein University men's soccer team earned a 2-0 victory over Ohio Wesleyan University. The Cardinals dominated a majority of the contest to move to 3-0 on the young season.

Otterbein got on the board in the 34th minute courtesy of Will Meilstrup's first goal of the season, and doubled their advantage when Rome Jacob added a goal in the second half. 

After being awarded a corner, Rome Jacob sent a beautiful ball into the box that was headed by fellow freshman Mitch Wheeler, nodding it to Lincoln Wallace. Wallace then headed the ball to Meilstrup who headed it past the OWU keeper for a 1-0 advantage. 

As the teams came out to start the second half, the weather delay commenced, lasting for nearly two hours. 

In the 65th minute, Nate Werthmuller sent a long ball ahead to Jacob, who fired home a shot to lift Otterbein to a 2-0 lead. The goal was the first of Jacob's collegiate career. 

On Saturday, the Cardinals head to Geneva College for a 4 p.m. kickoff against the Golden Tornadoes.
