A slow game in the first half broke open into a fun night for the Norsemen. 1 first half goal followed by 3 in the second half produced a 4-0 win on Red Robertson Field for NEO.
Early on the game was very slow paced with Ecclesia College packing the back half of pitch. NEO would play in their offensive 1/3 of the field, but failed to find the net until just 12:15 remained in the half. Dylan Galhardo found Jack Holmes on a cross to get the Norsemen on the board. In the second half Thales Vilar got the scoring started early in the second half on a solo breakaway goal. Thales won possession and knocked the ball up field, as the keeper came out he chipped a nicely controlled ball over the keeper and into the goal. With 32:30 remaining in the match Andre Rui took a ball to the corner beat the outside back and scored a hard shot ball right across the keepers face. The Norsemen would put an exclamation point on the win in the final minutes. With less than 7 minutes on  the clock Andre Rui would send a cross to the back side of the goal. Haley Heffelman managed to get his head on it to drive the ball past the keeper.
The Norsemen return to conference action Sunday September 23^rd when they host Murray State at 5:00.
