"It was a very hard-fought game; good soccer from both sides," Wabash head coach
Chris Keller said. "I'm proud of the guys and the way we came out and scored early in the second half and then fought back when it was a 1-1 match. We had to switch parts off the bench.
Jacques Boulais and Abdoulie both had great games in particular. Really it was just a great effort from the entire team. It's good to have the depth we've shown and be able to adjust to the different styles of guys and have those all mesh."
Â
Wabash finished with 15 total shots and eight shots on goal. Jennings recorded three saves.
Â
"It's a good win going forward. We came out on top with some good goals. Now we get ready for our trip to Ohio Wesleyan University this weekend. This will probably be our toughest game of the season to this point."
Â
Wabash (6-3-1) travels to OWU for a 7 p.m. match Saturday as the Little Giants return to action in the North Coast Athletic Conference portion of their schedule.
