Head Coach Blake New's Oberlin men's soccer team hosted
North Coast Athletic Conference rival Wabash College
(Ind.) this afternoon. The Little Giants narrowly defeated
the Yeomen in overtime, 2-1. After the defeat at Fred
Shults Field, Oberlin finishes its 2007 season with
an overall record of 7-8-3 (2-6-1 NCAC).
Today's loss served as a microcosm for the season
for the Yeomen. Oberlin had its chances to put Wabash
away but just wasn't quite able to finish. The Yeomen's
lone goal was scored by John Lindner.
The Yeomen, who made the NCAC semifinals last season
and defeated two of the conference's top four teams
this year, were plagued by injuries throughout the
2007 campaign. Oberlin lost in overtime to the NCAC's
second-place team and fell just 0-1 to the conference's
first-place team. Injuries to five key players, including
at goal, were difficult for New's team to overcome
despite strong depth.
The young Oberlin team will look to regroup in 2008
and continue its push towards the top of the NCAC's
standings.
