Western Men Fall to Drake

Jaylen Drummond earned his first career start as the team dropped its second-straight game.

DES MOINES, IOWA - The Western Illinois University men's soccer team played their weekend finale on Monday (Aug. 30), losing to the Drake Bulldogs 1-0 at the Cownie Soccer Complex in Des Moines, Iowa.
 
Jaylen Drummond earned his first career start and Alex Flowers got his first of the season as the Leathernecks looked to rebound after Thursday's loss to Central Methodist. They quickly got on the front foot, earning a corner kick and multiple free kicks within the first few minutes of the game. Despite the quick start, Drake got on the scoreboard in the 19th minute, and the score wouldn't change during the half's remaining 30 minutes.
 
At halftime Western had taken four shots, forcing two saves out of the Drake goalkeeper and earning three corner kicks. As a team they drew eight fouls, two of which resulted in yellow cards for Drake players.
 
The second half saw WIU continue its onslaught of shots but they weren't able to get a goal and the game finished in favor of the Drake Bulldogs.
 
In total the Leathernecks finished out shot their counterparts 14-6, took nine corner kicks, and forced the Drake goalkeeper to make four saves. The defense drew Drake attackers into seven offsides, and the team combined to draw 13 fouls.
 
Next up for WIU men's soccer is a duo of home matchups, starting with a 5 p.m. game on Friday (Sept. 3) against IUPUI, followed by a matchup with Fort Wayne at 1 p.m. on Sunday (Sept. 5). Both games are scheduled to take place at John MacKenzie Alumni Field in Macomb.
