The SIUE men's soccer team was able to bounce back from a tough 1-0 loss at the hand of Christian Brothers University by notching two wins this past weekend against GLVC foes.
First, the Cougars played host to the Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers Friday night and dominated from start to finish with a 5-0 victory.
SIUE scored its first goal just 40 seconds into the game on the first of two goals by Dustin Attarian. The Cougars added another goal in minute 37 by Randy Roy, which gave the Cougars a 2-0 lead going into halftime.
Kentucky Wesleyan was unable to generate much offense and finished the first half with just one shot on goal. "We controlled the ball and finished our chances," Attarian said.
After halftime, SIUE continued right where they left off by adding three more goals, one of them coming within 26 seconds of the start of the second half from Benny Jeffery. "After the tough loss to Christian Brothers, we had to reinforce our style of play, and we rose to the occasion," SIUE Head Coach Ed Huneke said.
The other SIUE goals came in the 65th minute and the 69th minute from Kevin Bielicki and the second goal from Dustin Attarian, respectively.
Kentucky Wesleyan was held to just two shots on goal in the second half and only three shots total for the entire game. "We knew it was going to be a tough game coming in, but this was a pretty big loss," Kentucky Wesleyan Head Coach Scott Pulliam said. "SIUE was just too dominant."
SIUE moved to 1-1 on the season and 1-0 in the GLVC.
On Sunday, SIUE continued the dominating weekend by defeating the Southern Indiana Screamin' Eagles 4-2 to get their second win in the GLVC.
The Cougars scored three of the four goals in the first nine and a half minutes on two goals by Bob Ridder and a goal from Kevin Bielicki.
Ridder's goal came in the 17th minute of the first half, but Southern Indiana answered right back in the eighth minute on a controversial penalty kick that was awarded to the Eagles after a penalty inside the SIUE goalie box.
