7:02: What a win for JCU! Down 1-0 to a team that gives up less than a goal a game and score three times in the final 34 minutes. We hope you enjoyed our first in-game blog ... we look forward to doing it again!
7:00 pm: Final score 3-1 JCU
6:57 pm: Final minute...Ohio Wesleyan shoots, blocked by Jake Milli ... Mike Pinter clears to send the ball the other way...run down by Lou Kastelic on a breakaway. Finds Kosek ... Kosek shoots and scores! JCU now leads 3-1 with 23 seconds left!
6:53 pm: Closing in on two minutes...Ohio Wesleyan is on full attack mode...JCU thwarting every attack.
6:48 pm: Six minutes left...Ohio Wesleyan throwing everything they have at the Blue Streaks...still 2-1 JCU.
6:40 pm: Blue Streaks now turn the tables. Getting some great runs...would love to get an insurance goal.
6:36 pm: 18:03 left...and Corey Rider makes his first career goal memorable. Gets a great cross from McKinney and beats Ott to the near post. 2-1 JCU!
6:31 pm: momentum is shifting, play getting more even ... and more chippy
6:18 pm: Joe Ciacchi strikes again! Pesky and relentless, he grabs a thru ball from Jeff Kosek and plays a shot that glances off an OWU defender into the goal. We are tied at 1-1 with 33 minutes to play in the 2nd half!
6:13 pm: OWU gets the first goal of the match...a neat play off a throw in...Matt Bonfini finds a wide open Tyler Wall in the 53rd minute...JCU defense did not mark well in allowing the score.

6:00 pm: Stats for you: Shots 9-3 in favor of OWU...Offsides 3-0 in favor of OWU...Corners 3-0 in favor of OWU...Yet, the score is 0-0.
5:50 pm: Halftime arrives with the score remaining 0-0. Ohio Wesleyan had about six or seven great opportunities to put a point up. JCU had chances as well, but is having trouble getting a shot off. Stats forthcoming...
5:41 pm: Scott McKinney just had a shot go wide left...JCU has yet to truly test OWU keeper Richard Ott.
5:38 pm: Still 0-0
5:37 pm: Matt DeMarchi is keeping JCU in the match...just made his fourth brilliant save...this time from about five feet away with 12 minutes left in the half.
5:25 pm: The Blue Streaks send in Jeff Kosek and Scott McKinney to try to generate more shots...OWU getting the better chances over the last 12 minutes.
5:15 pm: Both teams had legitimate scoring chances in the first ten minutes... then OWU's Matt Bonfini had a breakaway that was stopped on a great dive by JCU GK Matt DeMarchi.
5:02 pm: Ohio Wesleyan is John Carroll's opponent today. 6-1 on the year... a tough foe to break a two-match losing streak against.
4:50 pm: We will have the news of the match as it happens ... but we have a bit of tragic news to pass on. Erin Thomas, a JCU grad and older sister of JCU GK Craig Thomas, passed away tragically in a car accident Thursday. There will be a moment of silence before the match.
4:48 pm: Welcome! Its a beautiful day in University Heights! About 75 degrees and sunny ... a great day for a soccer match!
