USI wins GLVC regular season on Senior Day

Eagles finish regular season Wednesday
 
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The 16th-ranked University of Southern Indiana men's soccer team wrapped up the 2018 GLVC regular season title with a 2-0 shutout of William Jewell College on Senior Day Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field. The Screaming Eagles, who honored senior defender Kent Katzman (Spring Hill,Tennessee) prior to the match, see their record go to 12-2-1 overall and 10-1-1 GLVC, while the Cardinals fall to 5-11-0, 2-10-0 GLVC.
 
The GLVC regular season title and conference tournament number one seeding is the first for USI since 1990. The Eagles, who will be looking for their first GLVC Tournament crown since 1991, will host a first round game October 28, team and time are to be determined by regular season finales on Wednesday.
 
After a scoreless 79 minutes of action, USI junior forward Eric Ramirez (Vincennes, Indiana) exploded for a pair of goals in 62 seconds to give the Eagles the 2-0 margin of victory. Ramirez posted his first goal of the match after his shot deflected off a Cardinal defender. The score sequence started for Ramirez after taking a long pass from freshman defender Luke Lindsay (Plymouth, Minnesota) in the USI end at 79:51.
 
Ramirez iced the match and the conference's regular season title 62 seconds later when he scored on a cross from junior defender Justin Brooks (Fishers, Indiana) at 80:53 for the 2-0 advantage. The goals were Ramirez's sixth and seventh of the season.
 
USI sophomore goalkeeper Justin Faas (Carmel, Indiana) posted his 12th win of the year and his seventh shutout of the season in the win. Faas needed only two saves on the afternoon as the USI defense limited William Jewell to just seven overall shots.
 
The Eagles concluded the 2018 regular season when they visit Lewis University Wednesday for a noon match-up. The Flyers are 4-9-3 overall and 3-8-1 GLVC after falling to Maryville University, 2-0, at home this afternoon.
 
Lewis leads the all-time series with USI, 23-22-2, since the 1980 season. USI has the advantage in the last five matches, posting a 3-1-1 mark after going 1-0-1 last season. The Eagles also won the 2017 tie by advancing in the GLVC Tournament on penalty kicks.
