OBERLIN, Ohio – The Capital University men's soccer team (5-1-0) was on the road at Oberlin (1-3-2) on Wednesday night. The Comets relied on two goals from Jarrett Puckett to pull past the Yeomen 2-0.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Capital's first goal came in the 23rd minute following a corner kick. The corner opportunity bounced around the box for a bit before falling to the feet of Puckett just inside the 18-yard line. The senior defender would gather himself before sending the ball into the lower left hand corner of the goal to give the Comets the lead, 1-0.

It would be about 40 minutes before CU struck again with Puckett netting yet another in the 69th minute. Jack Kossoudji would play the set-up man this time around, dropping a beautiful backheel pass to Puckett who hammered it home from just outside the goal box, giving the Purple and White a 2-0 advantage until the final whistle. 

THE NUMBERS
Puckett's two goals were his second and third of the season, placing him second on the team behind Kossoudji (4). 

Speaking of Kossoudji, his assist gives him four for the year which leads that category as well. 

Capital took 11 attempts in the game, seven of which were on target. 

The defensive unit of Brennan Hesse, Josiah Benjamin, Colton Daugherty, Puckett, and company recorded their first shutout of the season, holding the Yeomen to just five shots on goal. 

Ethan Ogden once again started and spent the entire evening in the goal for Capital. He earned his fifth win of the season (5-1-0) as well as his first career clean sheet, making five saves.

UP NEXT 
The Comets will return home on Saturday, September 23 to take on Depauw at Bernlohr Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
