RECAP: The Northwood men's soccer team began the two-match road trip with a loss at Kentucky Wesleyan, 1-0, on Thursday (September 21). The Panthers would score late in the 82' to lift them to victory,
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
- Although Northwood had the advantage in shots 16-11, the Timberwolves could not win the shots on-target battle as the Panthers had seven versus NU's two.
- A tight match throughout, neither team would score through the first 80 minutes. The back-and-forth effect saw possessions be halted by great defense.
- Following a KWC free kick in the 82', the Panthers scored off taking the ball to the right post. An outstretched Northwood goalkeeper wouldn't be enough to defend the eventual game-winning goal and the only score of the match.
- Northwood's frantic pace would give them five opportunities for shots, but KWC's defense would hold serve as the Panthers held on to win, 1-0.
