WILMINGTON — The Wilmington College men’s soccer team defeated Bethany College (W.Va.) 3-0 Saturday evening at Townsend Field.

The win is the third in a row for the Fightin’ Quakers as they improved to 5-1-0. The Bison are now 1-5-0.

The second goal of the game came in the 49th minute. Zach Burgmeier was credited with a goal when his cross deflected off a Bison defender and into the goal. Burgmeier came close to a second goal in the 51st minute on a curving shot from long distance that was saved at the last moment by Bison goalkeeper Torben Grether.

Elorm Dogbey had a shot hit the post in the 65th minute, the shot deflected back to Ian Molfenter who took a shot of his own that was stopped by Grether.

Dogbey would get his goal in the 74th minute when we found himself on the end of a Kevin Kamara cross in front of the goal. The Quakers outshot the Bison 14-1 in the second half.

Wilmington goalkeeper Felix Maurer had no shots on goal to save and is credited with a shutout.
