Men's Soccer Notches 3-2 Win at Bowling Green

Box Score

Western Michigan completed a successful weekend of league play, registering a 3-2 victory at Bowling Green.  The Broncos are 2-0 in Mid-American Conference play after knocking off IPFW on Friday.

Chris Karwoski's squad built a 2-0 lead after 12 minutes of play on goals from Nashir Caraballi and Tom Oatley.  BGSU (2-8-1, 0-2-0 MAC) got on the board just before halftime on Dave Belfort's shot.

The teams exchanged second half goals -- WMU striking on Dan Picmann's tally in the 53rd minute and BG responding on Omari Aldridge's goal in the 83rd minute.

"It was another hard-fought game," said Karwoski.  "We let them back in the game after going up 2-0, but the guys showed their character in fighting back and responding with a win.  Our midfielders were up and down the field creating chances and I thought defensively we played well -- BG took advantage of a few lapses on our part -- but that is what good teams do."

Edgar Rivera and Chad Schurr added assists while senior Brent Miller earned the victory in goal, making five stops.

Western Michigan (5-5-1, 2-0-0 MAC) plays host to Michigan Wednesday (Oct. 12) before traveling to Northern Illinois on Friday (Oct. 14).
