Men’s Soccer Falls in Overtime Battle at Hope

Alex Ruckstaetter saved five shots in defeat

HOLLAND, Mich. - The Illinois Wesleyan men's soccer team played to overtime at Hope College, but fell to them in a 1-0 loss Saturday evening, Sept. 28. The Flying Dutchmen put in the golden goal a little over a minute into the extra period to put the Titans at a 4-5-0 record after the contest.

The Titans generated plenty of chances for a goal in the last 15 minutes of the second half, as they got off five shots with one being on target. Senior Logan Alexander's (Geneseo, Ill.-Geneseo HS) potential game-winning shot in the 90th minute went just wide of the net.

Sophomore Zack Kokes (Naperville, Ill.-Naperville Central HS) led all Titans with two shots on goal and junior Bobby Reichert (Yorkville, Ill.-Yorkville HS) added another shot on target. Senior Alex Ruckstaetter (Glen Ellyn, Ill.-Glenbard West HS) saved five shots, including one in the 90th minute to preserve the shutout going into overtime. Hope outshot IWU 15 to 8 and held the edge in corners (7 to 5).

The men's soccer team begin CCIW play as they travel to Wheaton next Friday, Oct. 4. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m.
