KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Senior goalkeeper Tim Trilk wrote his name into the record book as the Western Illinois men's soccer team (0-7-0) dropped a 2-0 contest to Kansas City (1-3-0) on the road Saturday (Sept. 21).
WIU battled the elements as the match was moved to a 3:25 p.m. kick-off due to severe weather in the area.
The 31st minute was a moment that Trilk will never forget. He edged his name into the record book with his third save of the match to become tenth all-time in program history, passing Chris Davenport (1988-90) with career save number 158. He saved one more shot in the second half and now needs four more to pass Chris Frenz (2002-05) for ninth all-time.
Kansas City jumped on the board and took a 1-0 lead in the first half. Kevin Komodi found Aiden Cavanaugh (23') in the box who finished his shot into the bottom left corner.
After the Roos limited the Purple and Gold to two shots in the first half, the Leathernecks responded with seven shots on the board. Jonah Dancer and Daniel McIntosh both came off the bench and fired two shots.
On a Western corner in the 73rd minute, McIntosh flicked the ball to Cesar Cosio inside the box, but his shot just went right of the net.
Western returns back to John MacKenzie to host Missouri State on Thursday (Sept. 26) and Northern Illinois Saturday (Sept. 28).
