Men’s soccer heading to national tournament
The USU Men’s soccer betting team won the NIRSA Region 6 championship for the first time in 12 years, beating Gonzaga 1-0 in the final in Ellensburg, WA.
They started group play Saturday with a 1-1 draw against Boise State and beat Central Washington 3-0 later that day. The Aggies had a busy day Sunday, playing three games with only an hour break between each game. Utah State beat Washington State in the quarter-finals 1-0, Portland State 3-0 in the regional semi-final and Gonzaga 1-0 to take home the NIRSA Region 6 Championship trophy. USU didn’t show any signs of fatigue until the final game against Gonzaga.
“It was exhausting,” said senior captain Matt Cannon. “Both teams were pretty tired. It showed more with them, they kept fouling us.”
Goalkeeper Landon Howard was one of the stand-out performers of the weekend, only allowing one goal during the tournament. Weston Casey put away a second half goal to give the Aggies the lead, and locked up their first Regional Championship in 12 years.
The Aggies head to the NIRSA National Tournament in Memphis, TN on November 20-22 and look to bring more hardware back to Logan. The last home game of the year is Saturday against the LDS Business College at 7 on Legacy Fields.
