PAINESVILLE, Ohio – Kentucky Wesleyan men's soccer (9-4-6, 7-3-5 Great Midwest Athletic Conference) fell to Findlay 0-3 in the G-MAC Championship game Saturday evening. It's the third straight year the Panthers fall short of the title.
The Panthers fell behind early in the match as the Oilers converted on a scramble in the box following a corner kick in the 10th minute. As the ball was pinging around, it fell kindly to Carson Oberski, who launched it high into the roofing of the net for the 1-0 lead. The Panthers worked hard in the remainder of the first half to find an equalizer, producing seven shots and three saves from Findlay's Ethan Hensley, but could not convert, going into halftime behind 1-0.
It went from bad to worse for the Panthers in the 52nd minute as the Oilers converted on a breakaway through Oberski once again for 2-0. The Panthers fought hard to get back into the game, earning two corners and producing six shots, but it just wasn't meant to be. Findlay's Joey Chirco put the finishing touch on the day for the Oilers, making it 3-0 in the 73rd minute.
