Box Score

Kalamazoo, MI - Even though they out-shot IPFW 26-9 in the match, it took a late goal for Western Michigan to put away IPFW, 2-1 on Sunday afternoon in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Freshman midfielder C.J. Brown broke a 1-all tie at the 82:03 mark, chipping a shot over IPFW goal keeper Josh Howell. 

The late goal ruined what had been a tremendous performance by the IPFW keeper. 

Howell kept IPFW in the match by stopping 10 Bronco shots.

The Mastodons (1-3-0) cracked the scoring column in the third minute of the match as freshman Patrick Evans chipped a ball into the box.  Senior forward Chas Parry got his head on the ball, pushing it past WMU keeper Casey Aubil.

IPFW held that 1-0 lead until the 30:29 mark. 

The Broncos used some nifty ball movement to get an open shot.  Ko Yamomoto fed the ball to Terry Dowling, who draw Howell out of position.  Dowling sent a ball to Tom Oatley who had an easy tap in.

Yamomoto also assisted on the Brown game-winner, giving him a two-point afternoon.

With the win, WMU evened their record at 2-2-0.

The Mastodons will now return home to host Detroit on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. at the Hefner Soccer Complex.  This match had been originally scheduled for October 17, but was changed due to a scheduling conflict.
