Huskies Down Leathernecks in Rockford

The Leathernecks Lost 0-1 On Thursday Night

LOVES PARK, IL -- The Leathernecks were unable to come away with a point Thursday as the Huskies won 1-0. 

Western lost 1-0 on Thursday against the Huskies in a match that was played in the Indoor Sports Center at Mercyhealth Sportscore Two just north of Rockford, Illinois. The match was pushed back due to the extreme heat that has hit the Midwest over the past week. 

The Leathernecks were able to tally 8 shots and 5 corners, but were not able to score. Sophomore forward Liam Gainey recorded the only shot on goal from Western, nearly getting past NIU's keeper in the 60th minute. 

Western goalie Youssou Ouendeno accumulated 3 saves during the match, as the junior from Paris, France only allowed the 1 Huskie goal. 

The Leathernecks are back in action on Sunday when they travel to Green Bay to play the Phoenix at 1 PM.
