BILLINGS, Mont. --- The 25th-ranked Western Oregon men's soccer team overcame an early 1-0 deficit with three unanswered goals on its way to a 3-1 victory over Montana State Billings on Saturday evening at Yellowjacket Soccer Field in Monmouth.
The Wolves (6-1-1 overall, 2-0 GNAC) have moved their unbeaten streak to seven games (6-0-1).
WOU fell behind in the 23rd minute before a penalty kick converted by
Yahir Ocampo Navarro made it 1-1 in the 30th minute. It's the sophomore's fourth goal of the season.
Just more than a minute later,
Diego Andrade had arguably the goal of the year for the Wolves as he shook one defender to the ground, dribbled around another and with his left foot blasted ball between a defender and the keeper into the lower-left slot to give the Wolves a 2-1 lead.
The score remained that way until the 71st minute when
Jacob Garcia scored on a penalty kick to give WOU some insurance.
The game was evenly played when it came to shots - with both teams taking 11 with five being on frame.
Andre Schlaefli picked up four saves in the win for the Wolves.
WOU returns home Thursday as it takes on the team that just edged the Wolves last season for the conference title - Simon Fraser.
