SAINT PETER, Minn. – The Gustavus men’s soccer team hosted Saint Mary’s for a Tuesday afternoon matchup where the Gusties took a 1-0 victory. With the win, the Gusties move to 7-3 overall and 3-1 in the conference.
The Gusties got on the board at the seventeenth minute mark when Otis Anderson (Jr., Minneapolis) dribbled two Cardinal defenders on the end line, passed it to Scott Heinen (Sr., Aurora, Ill.), and found a wide open Cole Schwartz (Jakarta, Indonesia) into the bottom right corner of the net. Gustavus had a couple good looks but could not convert and carried a 1-0 lead at halftime.
Despite multiple opportunities for the Gusties to add to the lead outshooting 17-3, an impressive Saint Mary’s goalkeeping performance would hold Gustavus to the one goal win.
Wesley Sanders (Urbandale, Iowa) was credited with the win making three saves on the shut out.
The Gusties are back in action when they host Central on Friday with a 4 p.m. kick-off.
