WNCC and Coffeyville women tie, Cougar men fall 2-0

It wasn't the most perfect Sunday for the Western Nebraska Community College men's and women's soccer team against Coffeyville Community College Sunday on the road. The two women's teams had to settle for a 0-0 tie after double overtime, while the Cougar men fell 2-0.

The women's game, though, had plenty of offense. It was just a matter of neither team finding the net. WNCC had 12 shots on goal compared to Coffeyville's 11.

"We were playing on turf and it was a tough match," WNCC coach Todd Rasnic said. "We had a lot of good scoring opportunities, we just didn't score. They also had a good goalkeeper."

On the men's side, the Cougars fell 2-0. WNCC trailed 1-0 at halftime. Both teams had six shots on goal. Rasnic said this was a tough game because it was physical and he had some players out with injuries.

"It was a defensive battle. We just didn't finish on our scoring opportunities," he said. "We have to get to a point where we need to finish."

Both teams will be back in action Wednesday when they travel to Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyo. The men's match begins at 2 p.m. and the women's match at 4 p.m.
