Ohio Wesleyan's Tyler Wall scored two goals within the span of six minutes late in the second half on Wednesday night, helping the Bishops to a 2-0 victory over the Denison Big Red men's soccer team at Barclay-Thomsen Field.
After the first half the match was scoreless and Denison held a 6-2 advantage in shots and a 5-1 lead in corner kicks attempted, but in the second half the Battling Bishops went on the offensive and outshot the Big Red 7-1 over the final 45 minutes.
Wall's first goal came in the 66th minute when he knocked the ball into the net after a scrum in front of the goal occured in a battle to gain possession. Wall would strike again in the 72nd minute with his sixth goal of the season.
Both goalkeepers, Jamison Dague for Ohio Wesleyan and Kevin Donahue (Riverside, Conn./Greenwich) posted four saves in 90 minutes. The shutout was Dague's sixth of the year.
Peter Shorten (Hudson, Ohio/Western Reserve Academy), Ryan Linn (Zanesville, Ohio/West Muskingum) and Andrew Lash (St. Louis, Mo./Whitfield School) all finished with two shots apiece for Denison. Wall paced OWU with five shots, four of which ended up on-goal.
Denison falls to 8-5-1 overall while OWU improves to 11-5. The Big Red will host The College of Wooster on Saturday at 4 p.m.
