The WNCC men's and women's soccer teams not only had to endure a physical Northern Oklahoma team, but they had to manage 40 to 45 mph winds. The women lost 3-2 and the men lost 2-1.
In the women's contest, the Cougars led 2-0 at halftime. Nickole Mueller took a pass from Paige Achatz at the 28th minute for a 1-0 lead. A little bit later, Bre Perkes, who is No. 8 in scoring in the nation, nailed a penalty kick for the 2-0 halftime lead.
The second half was a different stroy as Northern Oklahome kept taking shots as they had the wind for the wind. Also, Mueller left the match in the second half with ashma troubles because of the wind and dust, and Perkes was head-butted in the second half. Jenny Dittbenner saved 10 shots while in goal for the Cougars.
As for the men's contest, Northern Oklahoma took a 1-0 halftime lead and went up 2-0 with a goal in the 66th minutes. WNCC came back and netted a goal in teh 78th minutes as Andrea Antunduaga took a pass from Eloy Matos for the team's first goal. WNCC out-played Northern Oklahoma, but couldn't get the ball into the net. WNCC outshot the other team 18-7 and Adam Rivera had five saves.
The team will return to action Sunday when they face Barton County. The women go at 11 a.m. MST and the men at 1 p.m.
