Men’s soccer shuts out Greenville

| Managing Editor

The No. 9 Washington University men’s soccer team extended its season-opening unbeaten streak to six games with a 1-0 victory over Greenville College on Tuesday night.

Freshman Ike Witte scored the game’s lone goal in the 52nd minute when he received a ball from freshman Jack West and chipped it over the keeper. It was Witte’s first career goal.

Junior goalkeeper Jonathan Jebson made four saves to keep the team’s shutout streak alive at four games. The Bears (5-0-1) have not allowed a goal in their last 427:06 of game time.

Both teams recorded nine shots each, although the Red and Green put six on target compared to four for Greenville. The Panthers had the edge in corner kicks, 9-3, but failed to convert on any of their chances.

Wash. U. now looks ahead to a top-10 showdown against No. 8 Wheaton College at home on Friday. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m.
