Herrera nets gamewinner, NCWC shuts out Greensboro 4-0

Rocky Mount, NC - Behind freshman Irvin Herrera's second gamewinning goal of the season, the North Carolina Wesleyan men's soccer team cruised to a 4-0 shutout of Greensboro College on Saturday afternoon at Scalf Field. Herrera (pictured) gave the Bishops all the offense they would need when he booted home a through-ball from Javier Castrillo at the 10-minute mark. Wesleyan finishes the regular season with a 10-7 overall record with a 5-1 USA South mark.

A penalty kick by Ousman Sarr in the 37th minute gave the Bishops a 2-0 lead at the break, while freshman Michael Muhseler netted a pair of goals in the second half. Both were assisted by sophomore Owen White.

NCWC keeper Benjamin Kruk earned his second straight shutout in goal, making three saves on six Pride shots. GC's Chad Adams faced 20 shots and made five saves for Greensboro.

With the victory, Wesleyan secured its second consecutive runner up finish in the USA South regular season standings.  As the league's #2 seed, the Bishops receive a bye in the first round of the conference tournament and will face the winner of #3 Methodist / #6 Shenandoah on Friday at 7:30 p.m. in Martinsville, VA. Wesleyan will be attempting to defend its 2008 tournament title.
