Oklahoma Wesleyan University’s Men and Women Soccer team participated in the Swede Classic this past weekend and both found their form as both walked away winning the Classic with two wins on the weekend.
The women’s soccer team faced Sterling College on Friday afternoon. Sterling took the lead in the first half when (GIRL) shot a lazer from 35 yards out that hit the crossbar and went past the goal line to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead. The Eagles possessed the ball most of the game, but entered the final 20 minutes still trailing. Amber Brown solved the puzzle to score for the eagles to draw them even. Libby Storie found the game winner late in the 78 min of the game. The win was the first of the season for the Ladies Soccer team. Lady Eales record went to 1-2.
The women’s soccer team played Saturday afternoon against Bethany College in Lindsborg, Ks trying to bring their record to .500. The Ladies set the tone early with Amber Brown scoring in the first 8 minutes of the match. Amber scored her second goal of the day and third of the weekend in the second half to give the Eagles a 2-0 lead. The eagles conceded a goal off a set piece but the defense held strong lead by Bartlesville’s own Beth Estes and Deanna Sidener from Tulsa. The Eagles are now 2-2 going into this week with two games against Saint Gregory Universtiy (Tuesday 3:00 at OKWU Soccer Complex) and Southwestern College (Thursday 5:30 at OKWU Soccer Complex.)
