Otero shuts out Cougar men

LA JUNTA, Colo. -- The Western Nebraska Community College men's soccer team dropped a 3-0 Region IX match to Otero Junior College Saturday.

The Cougars trailed the Rattlers 1-0 at halftime. WNCC coach Todd Rasnic said his team played well defensively in the first half, the only problem is they never mounted many scoring threats all game.

"Otero is a pretty good team and we played OK," he said. "The problem with the game was we didn't develop any attacking presence and we played with just 14 players."

The Cougars registered 11 shots in the game, while Otero managed 17 shots.

Rasnic said there isn't a lot to say about the game, except they needed to develop an offense attack better.

Both Cougar teams will be in action Sunday when they travel to Dodge CIty Community College. The men's match is slated for noon, while the women will play at 2 p.m. Both teams will then return to Landers Soccer Complex on Wednesday as they face Laramie County Community College in a Region IX showdown. The men's contest starts at 2 p.m. with the women's match at 4 p.m.
