The Western Nebraska Community College men’s and women’s soccer teams found the going difficult against Iowa Western Community College Saturday afternoon. The Cougar women fell to Iowa Western 5-0, while the men lost 4-1 dropping both teams record to 3-5.
WNCC coach Todd Rasnic was especially pleased with the way his women’s team competed despite the loss. “They were the best team we played all year. They were better than Laramie County and Butler County,” he said. “We played well together. We just ran out of gas at the end with limited substitutions.”
The Iowa Western women held a 1-0 lead at halftime before scoring four goals in the second half for the win.
The Cougar men were playing tooth and nail with the Reivrs. After Iowa Western took a 1-0 first half lead, David Thurow scored off an assist by Drew Oesterle to tie the match at 1 at intermission. The second half was all Iowa Western as they scored four unanswered goals to solidify the win.
Both teams will be off a week before returning to action. The men will host Garden City Community College Saturday at noon in AYSO day at the Landers Soccer Complex. Both teams will then be back in action Oct. 2 when they host Cloud County Community at noon and 2 p.m. in a game that was added a few weeks ago.
