Box Score

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Senior forward Simon Rawnsley scored a goal in the 12th minute and assisted on a goal in the 16th minute as the University of Southern Indiana men's soccer team cruised to a 3-0 victory over Kentucky Wesleyan College in its season-finale Sunday at Strassweg Field.

Rawnsley, who left the contest along with fellow senior Chris Rutter to a standing ovation with two minutes remaining in the contest, gave the Screaming Eagles a 1-0 lead when he scored on a penalty kick less than 12 minutes into the contest.

His pass to Rutter in the 16th minute led to the Eagles' second goal of the match. Rutter used the pass to get a shot off that was deflected by KWC senior goalkeeper Ryan Samuels. Senior forward Shane Cloutier took advantage of the deflection to get an open shot at the goal and give the Eagles a 2-0 advantage. Rutter also was credited with an assist on the play.

The Eagles (9-8-0, 6-8-0 GLVC), who recorded their first winning season since the 2003 season, increased their lead to 3-0 in the 75th minute when sophomore defender Jeff McClure used a feed from sophomore midfielder Trey Fosburgh to pick up his third goal of the season.

USI dominated Kentucky Wesleyan (2-13-1, 0-13-1 GLVC) throughout the contest, outshooting the visiting Panthers 22-4. The Panthers got just two shots on goal, with freshman goalkeeper Jeffrey Neidlinger and sophomore goalkeeper Ben Dempsey each recording a save to combine for USI's third shutout of the year.
