Scots Win One on Penalty Kick This Time

After losing two of its last three games in large part to penalty kicks, The College of Wooster won one in similar fashion at Oberlin College Tuesday night, as Scott Buckwald's conversion during the 54th minute turned out to be the North Coast Athletic Conference contest's lone score.

The first half featured 12 shots being taken between the two teams, but none found its mark. Early in the second, Oberlin (7-6, 1-2 NCAC) was whistled for a foul and Buckwald calmly delivered the shot from 12 yards out past the 'keeper. It marked Buckwald's fifth goal this season and ninth of his career, but first coming via a penalty kick.

Wooster (5-6-1, 2-2-0 NCAC) hung on for the victory, with freshman 'keeper Taylor Takacs preserving the shutout via four saves.

The Scots will be on the road again this Saturday when they play at Earlham College (8-4, 0-2 NCAC) at 3 p.m.
