With all but the Dominican/Elmhurst results in, it looks like a first round whitewash so far. All six matches that started at 11:00 were shutouts. It appears that these matches were easy victories for the winner. That certainly wasn’t the case with last night’s first round match at Wheaton. Calvin and rival Wheaton played a well fought match that really was really in play through the the 89th minute. Calvin won their first ever at Wheaton, 2-1 and advances to face Wartburg today at 6:00. It will be Knights versus Knights in that one.
Calvin’s Alex McKenzie won the match in the 77th minute with a perfectly placed shot from 15 yards. It was a 3 touch ball and was a hard hit ball. The Wheaton keeper had a chance but couldn’t stop the shot as it was high and in the right corner.
So this first round match was a close one, and a great one to watch. Let’s see what happens this afternoon and evening.
