Romeoville, Ill. - The elusive search for a winning streak has come to an end for the Lewis University men's soccer team, as the Flyers saw seven different players score for their second-straight win in the 7-0 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over Kentucky Wesleyan at Lewis Stadium on Sunday (Oct. 9) afternoon.
The Flyers had traded wins and losses over each of the last four weeks heading into this weekend. Lewis defeated Southern Indiana, 2-1, on Friday (Oct. 7) night.
Lewis unloaded a team-season high 27 shots, including a season-high 18 shots on frame.
"I thought we played how we need to do in order to beat the top teams in our league, particularly in the second half," Lewis head men's soccer coach
Evan Fiffles said. "It's always good when you don't have to relay on one person.
"We have to have that mentality to get into the box, move the ball and finish our chances."
With the win, Lewis improves to 6-6 on the season and 6-4 in GLVC action, while the visiting Panthers are now 2-11 on the campaign and 0-10 in conference action.
