STORM LAKE, Iowa – Nebraska Wesleyan men's soccer closed the regular season with a 7-1 win over Buena Vista on Tuesday night at J. Leslie Rollins Stadium, clinching the No. 4 seed in the American Rivers Conference Tournament and earning the right to host Simpson in Saturday's quarterfinals.
Senior Owen Glogowski and freshman Jayden Fullerton each scored twice as the Prairie Wolves matched their season high with seven goals, including five in the second half.
Freshman Reef Rohrs opened the scoring at 15:03 off an assist from Henry Spethman before Glogowski scored the eventual game-winner at 35:29 on a feed from Connor Currence. Glogowski's goal was his fourth of the season, giving Nebraska Wesleyan a 2-0 lead at halftime.
Glogowski doubled his tally just 24 seconds into the second half, finishing a pass from Max Matthies with a right-footed shot into the right corner. Brenden Zuerlein added his second goal of the season at 55:24 to extend the lead to 4-0.
Matthies made it 5-0 at 66:15, finishing a through ball from Caden Carpenter. Buena Vista got on the board at 75:37 on a goal by Jameson Breitzman before Fullerton scored in the 78th minute off an assist from George Cassady.
Fullerton added his second goal at 89:41 to cap the scoring and give Nebraska Wesleyan its second seven-goal performance of the season.
Glogowski, who recorded a hat trick in Nebraska Wesleyan's 3-2 win over Cornell on Sept. 15, became the first Prairie Wolf since 2019 to record multiple multi-goal games in the same season. Nolan Dillon was the last NWU player to accomplish the feat.
Nebraska Wesleyan (6-8-1, 3-4 A-R-C) outshot Buena Vista 18-9 and held a 14-5 advantage in shots on goal. Christian Lindseth and Domini Willsea saw action in goal for the Prairie Wolves, while Christian Pogue made seven saves for Buena Vista (3-9-4, 0-6-1 A-R-C).
