Box Score

Yellowjackets 1, Lawrence 0

The Yellowjackets have the Vikings' number. Well, at least this weekend they do.

Saturday afternoon they dismantled the Vikings of Bethany Lutheran College to bounce back from Wednesday's loss with a win on the road. Less than 24 hours later they were on the pitch again, once again against a team called the Vikings, this time the opposition being provided by Appleton, Wisconsin's Lawrence University.

Different team, different venue, same result.

It wasn't the one-sided win that Saturday's game was, but for the second time in as many days the Yellowjackets shut out the Vikings, using a second half goal to defeat Lawrence 1-0 at the Yellowjacket Soccer Complex.

The first half was even, with both teams having opportunities to score, but when all was said and done the teams went into halftime scoreless.

As the second half unfolded the intensity ramped up, with both teams being issued yellow cards (three for Lawrence, two for the Yellowjackets), and both teams playing with a bigger sense of urgency. The Yellowjackets began to apply more pressure and were rewarded in the 66th minute. Reyman Solis (Kirkland, Ill./Huntley), who had a five-point match against Bethany Lutheran Saturday, moved the ball to Jon Bucklew (Somerset, Wis./Somerset) and the sophomore scored his team-leading fifth goal of the year, chipping a shot over the Lawrence goalkeeper to give the Yellowjackets the 1-0 lead.

Lawrence had an opportunity to tie the score in the latter stages, but Yellowjacket goalkeeper Ben Wilhelm (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater Area) leaped and deflected the shot over the top of the goal to preserve the win.

Wilhelm earned his eighth win of the year in goal for the Yellowjackets, making four saves. The victory also provided him with his third shutout of the season. At the other end the Yellowjackets had eight shots on goal, led by Bucklew, Ryan Wisdom (Hayward, Wis./Hayward), and Solis who had two apiece.

Joe Krivit had seven saves in goal for Lawrence.

The Yellowjackets (8-2-0, 2-1-0 UMAC) are back home Tuesday, September 29 when they host Northland College. Game time from the Yellowjacket Soccer Complex is set for 2:00 p.m.
