TIFFIN, Ohio – The Capital University men's soccer team traveled to Heidelberg University on Wednesday night where they blitzed the Student Princes for four goals to head home with a 4-0 win. The victory was much needed for the Comets who faced one of the more difficult starts to a season in recent program history. The team is now 2-7-1 overall and Heidelberg is 2-10 overall.
The scoring got started in the ninth minute as
Wassim Metatla scored his first career goal in Purple and White. Metatla took a pass from
Derrick Harris before smashing home a shot from outside the box, making it 1-0, Capital.
Despite some pressure from Capital, the 1-0 score would hold through halftime.
Out of halftime, the Comets were hungry to add to their advantage in the game. It took just over 17 minutes to add to their lead, but once they got the first, it didn't take long to become 4-0.
Landon Montgomery first scored in the 63rd minute as he took a through ball on the right side and scored from a tight angle.
Just under 10 minutes later, Capital scored two in quick succession as
Cade Wurstner bagged his first Capital goal as well. Wurstner also was the beneficiary of a through ball that beat the defense before he smashed home his shot from just inside the box.
Moments later,
Christian Monzalvo added his team-leading fifth of the season as he knocked home the rebound to Metatla's shot that drew a save from the Berg keeper.
Ethan Ogden played in net where he made four saves to keep his first clean sheet and the second shutout of the season for the Comets.
