MARION, Ind. -- The large Homecoming crowd left happy today as Indiana Wesleyan University men’s soccer drubbed Marian (Ind.)in a 5-0 final score at Wildcat Field.

The goals came early as Indiana Wesleyan put three on the board before halftime. Keaton Albert (JR/Park City, Ill.) quickly put IWU on the board in the ninth minute when he scored off a Shawn Bloch (FR/Rockford, Mich.) crossing pass that Corey Lopez (JR/Warsaw, Ind.) headed to Albert. Less than eight minutes later Seth Kintigh (JR/Concord, Mich.) doubled up Marian with a goal off the assist from Evan Young (SO/Colorado Springs, Colo.).

Josh Goepper (JR/Shelby Township, Mich.) starred in the second half of the match. Tyrone Martin (SR/Indianapolis, Ind.) split two Marian defenders in the 59th minute and was fouled in the box. The IWU keeper was called upon to take the penalty kick and Goepper scored his first collegiate goal for the 4-0 lead.
