Occidental bests Kenyon at Mavec

GAMBIER Ohio – The Kenyon men's soccer team picked up its first loss of the year against the Tigers of Occidental College. The Owls fell, 2-0, and had their overall season record moved to 4-1-0.

Out of the gate the Owls dominated possession early, a trend that would continue for them as the match continued on. Taking the first four shots of the game the Owls were constantly operating in tight windows in the attacking third. A quick barrage of shots from Andrew Adams and Grant Blake led the Owls to many different chances. However, Kenyon would fall behind, 1-0, on a goal floating just under the crossbar for the Tigers. 

Occidental only had the opportunity for eight shots as compared to a total of 22 for Kenyon. However, the Tigers put a total of seven on net compared to five for the Owls. With a second goal in the 79th minute pushing the Tigers up 2-0 tensions rose as an 80th minute infringement left Occidental with 10 players for the rest of the way. 

Kenyon goalkeeper Matt Kayser picked up a total of four saves in the match, making impressive dives to every corner of the net.  

A road trip kicks off for Kenyon on Wednesday, September 16, when it travels to Marietta College for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
