Men’s Soccer: Fye’s two goals lift ’Hawks past No. 23 Illinois Wesleyan

Three goals in two minutes provided all the game’s scoring as the Warhawks’ survived the Titans’ late charge to win 2-1.

The offensive cavalcade was headed by midfielder Logan Fye, who scored both of Whitewater’s goals.

The action-packed game featured 8 shots in the first 15 minutes. Both teams had two shots on goal in the first half. The action was fast and furious, yet the first half of the freezing game was scoreless.

About 10 minutes into the second half, the scoring barrage started with defender Ryan Reid floating a ball ahead to Fye.

Fye chased it down, and buried it in the left corner of the net.

Twenty seconds later, Logan Fye received the ball behind the defense again, quickly making it 2-0 Hawks.

The Titans were not content with the score, though. A minute later, the ball was deflected multiple times before Titan forward John Pisani buried it in the back of the net.

The scoring was done after that goal, but not without a few nail-biting moments. The Titans had six corner kicks and three free kicks in the second half that gave the ’Hawks’ fans plenty of scares. The defense held, led by goalie Josh Rohde, who had 8 saves on the night.

With the win, the Warhawks move to 6-4-2 on the season and will head to Rippon College on Oct. 18 at 3 p.m.
