Men’s Soccer Clinches CCIW Tournament Spot with Shutout at Carroll

Schular’s game-winner propels Titans

WAUKESHA, Wis. - The Illinois Wesleyan University men's soccer team secured its spot in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Tournament with a 2-nil road win over Carroll University Saturday, Oct. 17 in Waukesha, Wis. Freshman Declan Schular's (Peoria, Ill.-Peoria Notre Dame) second-half header pushed the Titans to 7-2-3 and 2-1-2 in conference play. The Pioneers dip to 4-9-1 and 2-3-2 in league play. The shutout secured IWU's ninth clean sheet of the season and first road win of the season. 

A slow first half saw both squads fire off five shots apiece with Carroll landing two on target compared to IWU's zero. Senior Owen Boukalik (Northville, Mich.-Northville) picked up the two saves in the first 45 securing the shutout. IWU controlled the second 45 with 15 shots compared to CU's two. The Titans kept the pressure on with eight on goal.

The Green and White broke through after penetrating the Pios defense and gaining a throw in 30 yards from the goal. After the first throw was denied, the Titans had another chance. A beautiful ball was launched by sophomore Hunter Reinberg (Washington, Mo.-St Francis Borgia) who found the head of Schuler in a packed box and beat the keeper high right for the first score. 

With seconds left in the second half, junior Ben Lyons (Orland Park, Ill.-Carl Sandburg) drove down the pitch and found senior Matthew Perchik (Glenview, Ill.-New Trier) who beat the goalkeeper to secure the win for the Green and White. 

With the CCIW regular season winding down, IWU stays in Wisconsin for a match against Carthage College Wednesday, Oct. 21.
