Yellowjackets Shutout by Macalester

Box Score

Macalester 1, Yellowjackets 0

The Yellowjacket men's soccer team was on the road Tuesday evening for a non-conference match against Macalester College. Fresh off of their 6-0 drubbing of Martin Luther College, the Yellowjackets were feeling confident coming into this match. In the end, Macalester was able to do something only one other opponent has done so far this year, shut out the Yellowjackets.

Defense was the name of the game in the first half, as both teams had trouble finding shots. Macalester held a 6-3 shots advantage by the end of the half, but both teams were only able to generate one shot-on-goal apiece. The Yellowjackets had a shot to take the lead in the 24th minute, but a Reyman Solis (Kirkland, Ill./Huntley) shot was turned away by the Macalester goalkeeper.

The second half started out quickly, as Yellowjacket goalkeeper Ben Wilhelm (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater Area) was able to turn away a Macalester shot in the 47th minute. The Yellowjackets nearly took the lead again on the counter attack, but a Solis shot hit the post.

The defenses once again tightened up, making it extremely difficult for either team to generate any offense. Macalester was able to break through at 68:46 when Alan Schembri-Wismayer beat Wilhelm on a shot from 15 yards out. That goal would prove to be the game winner, as the Yellowjackets were only able to generate four more shots the rest of the match.

The Yellowjackets outshot Macalester in the second half 6-5, but Macalester had the advantage 3-1 in shots-on-goal.

For the match Macalaster outshot the Yellowjackets 11-9, including 4-2 shots-on-goal.

Wilhelm started in goal for the Yellowjackets, allowing one goal while making three saves. With the loss he falls to 11-5 on the season.

Zeke Vainer started in goal for Macalester, making two saves in the shutout effort.

Next up for the Yellowjackets (12-5, 6-2 UMAC) is a trip down Highway 2 Wednesday to take on Northland College in Ashland, Wis. Game time is set for 3:15 p.m.
