Leathernecks Falter in Des Moines

Western lost 0-1 against Drake on Friday night

DES MOINES, IA -- Western lost its third consecutive match by a score of 0-1 on Friday night. The Leathernecks' defense was strong once again, as they were out shot 12-4 in the match, but only allowed the one goal. 

In the 21st minute, Drake scored the only goal of the match, when Austin Holtebeck was able to find the back of the net. Sophomore Adam Miller nearly equalized just 4 minutes later, but was denied by the crossbar.

Freshman forward Diego Porras recorded the Leathernecks' only shot on goal, when he was nearly able to score in the 49th minute of play. Porras joined Kyle Owen and Oscar Ohlingdahl as the only field players to play the full 90 minutes for the Leathernecks. 

Late newcomer Cian McNamara made his debut for Western on Friday, as the 5th year player out of Iowa City played 34 minutes in the match. 

Looking ahead, the Leathernecks play two matches at home next week, first against the Lions of Lindenwood on Tuesday, Sep. 5, then the Bradley Braves come to Macomb for a matchup on Friday, Sep. 8.
