Early Offensive Surge Gives Prairie Wolves First Win of the Season

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The Cobbers were the first team to get on the board Friday night. Seth Kotzbacher scored on an assist by Edwin Rasidovic, 0-1. 
  • Nebraska Wesleyan answered back quickly. Thirty-eight seconds later, Alex Kohler took charge and tied the game up at one apiece at the 14:26 minute mark of the first period. 
  • Freshman Isaac Havemeier joined the fun offensively and found the net for the first time as a Prairie Wolf. The Missouri native used all of his 6-foot 6-inch frame to knock in a header from five yards out, 2-1. 
  • Concordia (Minn.) didn't go away easily, as they snuck in their second goal of the evening past NWU goalie, Zachary Weis, 2-2. 
  • To close things out offensively for both teams on the night, with 20 seconds remaining in the first period, Jackson Waldron zipped a ball past the Cobbers' defenseman and goalie and put Nebraska Wesleyan back up, 3-2. 
  • Defenses for both teams prevailed in the second half. Neither team could get any offense going and the first-period score of 3-2, was held for the remainder of the game. 
  • Friday night's win gives Coach Bonilla and the Prairie Wolves their first win of the season.
  • INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

HEAD COACH BRANDON BONILLA'S COMMENTS

  • "That was a wild one again. We have now scored seven goals in two games now and unfortunately also given up quite a few."
  • "Going into halftime up 3-2, our main focus was on defense in the second period. We got to have a mentality and grind to finalize games and get them over the finish line."
  • "The back line stepped in the second half and the team effort was huge."
  • "It has been a really positive weekend so far. We get a day off tomorrow, training on Sunday and back at it on Monday against Concordia University (Texas)."
