Men’s Soccer exceeds last year’s win total with shutout over Lakeland

MEQUON, Wis. – The Concordia Wisconsin Falcons shut out the Lakeland Muskies in a 6-0 route on Wednesday afternoon at Fitting Field. The win gave the Falcons their 13^th of the season, which exceeds last year's mark of 12 and is the most regular season wins for the program since they last won 13 in 2016.

THE BASICS
- Final Score: Falcons 6, Muskies 0
- Records: Falcons 13-4-1 (7-3-1 NACC), Muskies 3-16-1 (0-11-0 NACC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Falcons struck swiftly as Jackson Dryden (Whitefish Bay, Wis.) scored the game-winner 1:47 into the match in an unassisted effort.
- Jacob Hilbrandt (Hemlock, Mich.) extended the Falcon lead less than one minute later. The junior took a pass from Dryden in front of the goal and sent it in to put the Falcons up 2-0 less than three minutes into the match.
- In the ninth minute, an odd turn of events added another goal for the Falcons. Dryden took a shot at point-blank range that deflected off the Muskie goalie. That deflection ricocheted into a Muskie defender, which then sent the ball bouncing into the Lakeland net for an own-goal.
- Leading 3-0 at the half, the Falcons doubled their lead before the final horn. Dryden scored his second of the game and team-leading 12^th of the season on a penalty kick in the 46^th minute.
- Ivan Cuellar (Milwaukee, Wis.) added two more goals to the Falcon total. The freshman scored in the 48^th minute with Simon Da-Silva (Lagos, Nigeria) assisting.
- In the 60^th minute, Da-Silva centered the ball from the right side, where Antonio Gurrola-Flores (Sheboygan, Wis.) tapped it backward to Cuellar who rocketed it in for the goal.
- 16 different Falcons took a shot in the match as CUW outshot Lakeland 46-2 in a dominant showing.

UP NEXT
- The Falcons begin their NACC Playoff run on Saturday, November 2. The playoff seeding will be finalized by the end of the night.
