Leathernecks Lose In Summit League Opener

Western lost to Oral Roberts by a score of 8-0 on Saturday

MACOMB -- The last time Oral Roberts and Western squared off, Oral Roberts won by a score of 8-0. Today was no different, as the Leathernecks allowed 6 second half goals in a match that ended with the same score as 2022's matchup. 

Oral Roberts scored 2 goals in the first half, as Leatherneck keeper Youssou Ouendeno racked up 4 saves in the first half, making a valiant effort to deny the Golden Eagles of any scoring chance. In the 19th minute, sophomore midfielder Oscar Olingdahl would go down with an injury and did not return to the match. 

In a second half that was dominated by the Golden Eagles, Western had a handful of chances but could not convert. Freshman Aidan Breslin had arguably the Leathernecks' best scoring chance of the game in the 71st minute, but just missed high on a shot attempt at the edge of the 18-yard box. Oral Roberts would score six in the second half, bringing their total to eight goals on the afternoon. 

Western will take on Northern Kentucky on Tuesday, September 26 at 6 PM.
