Eagles Drop 4-0 Decision to Ottawa

Kansas City, MO - Ottawa University scored two goals in each half enroute to a 4-0 win on Wednesday night. Colin Wylie opened the scoring in the 18th minute on a direct free kick from 35 yards out. Jorge Cota added to lead in the 39 minute. Ottawa then scored in the 65th and 88th minutes to conclude the scoring.

Although Avila (0-4) was outshot 20-16 for the match, the game saw plenty of opportunites for the Eagles to score but unfortunately they could not find the back of the net. Avila hit the bar four times and saw numerous other shots miss just wide or over the top. The majority of the chances came in the second half which both frustrated and pleased Coach Clements, "The effort put forth in the second half is what I am looking for the boys to play with for a whole match. We started slow and to Ottawa's credit, they put away their opportunities. I am excited about our play in the second half and we will look to build off of that at practice this week."

Ray Dlugolecki started in the net for the first time this season and played well recording six saves.

The Eagles were paced by Roberto Camacho's four shots, while four other players had two shots a piece.

Avila returns to the pitch on Saturday, September 12th when they look for their first win of the season against Tabor College of Kansas. The match is slated to start at 3 P.M. on the campus of Avila.
