The SIUE Men's Soccer team defeated the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Rangers Friday 5-0, but Sunday had an unusual conclusion in action against Lewis University on Sunday.
In Friday's game against Wisconsin-Parkside, SIUE was in control.
SIUE scored twice in the first 28 minutes, getting goals from freshmen Dustin Attarian and Matt Harris on assists from sophomore Mike Jones and Attarian, respectively.
Goalkeeper Greg Crook recorded his third shutout of the year and had four saves on the Rangers five shots on goal.
"Greg gives us steadiness and certainty," SIUE Head Coach Ed Huneke said. "Everyone feels good about having Greg back there."
The Cougars had two goals apiece from Attarian and Harris, as well as an assist from Attarian and two from Harris.
The Rangers were unable to generate much offense in the game due to the fact of the youth of the team.
"We had eight freshmen out there tonight, but I am proud of them because they played hard," Wisconsin-Parkside Head Coach Rick Kilps said.
Despite the fact that the Rangers did not get many shots on goal, they did control the ball throughout a lot of the first half.
Attarian earned his third multi-goal game of the season and has turned into one of SIUE's most formidable scorers.
"Dustin has been on fire because he has great instincts," Huneke said. "He has been excellent at one-on-one battles with defenders."
Harris also was able to lend his talents to the scoring scene by recording his first multi-goal game.
"I got set up perfectly tonight by my teammates and was able to finish," Harris said.
This victory against the Rangers ensured that Huneke will finish his career undefeated against them.
"Coach has always been undefeated against them, and since this was the last time he coached against them, we wanted to win it for him," Harris said.
In Sunday's game against Lewis University, the game was physical from start to finish with multiple penalties called on both teams.
