MARION, Ind. - The IWU men's soccer team used a fast-paced attack to outlast Goshen (Ind.) College by a score of 4-3 on Saturday night at Wildcat Field.

Wildcat senior forward David Trainer provided early excitement to both halves as he notched both his goals within the first minute of each half. Trainer's first goal came off of a headed pass from senior midfielder Austin Bock on a corner kick from junior defender David Enger. Trainer's second goal came as the result of his speed and determination as he simply outran the Goshen defense and neatly chipped the ball over the Maple Leaf goalkeeper.

Junior defender Ross Tanzer's head provided the Wildcats with their remaining goals as he scored in the 40th and 43rd minutes to increase the IWU lead before halftime. Junior midfielder Mitch Lobdell and freshman midfielder Geoff Bowman received credit for the assists on the Tanzer goals.

Goshen's first goal of the evening came in the second minute as junior Julian Sider answered the first Trainer goal in quick fashion.

Goshen College would make things interesting in the second half, as Charlie Frederick and Jan Dohnal each recorded goals to tighten the score to 4-3. However, IWU would stiffen its defense for the rest of the game to prevent the upset.

The victory improves Indiana Wesleyan's record to 10-8-1, while Goshen finishes their season at 5-14-0.

The Wildcats advance to the semi-finals next Saturday as they host Marian (Ind.) University next Saturday at Wildcat Field.
