2-1 Win at Earlham Ups Scots' NCAC Record to 3-2

Scott Buckwald scored two goals just 7:07 apart in the second half, lifting The College of Wooster to a 2-1 victory over host Earlham College Saturday in North Coast Athletic Conference men's soccer action at Richmond, Ind.

In picking up it second conference road win of the week, Wooster (6-6-1, 3-2-0 NCAC) moves into a second-place tie in the NCAC standings, as the Fighting Scots look to finish among the top-four for the regular season, and thus earn a bid to the NCAC Tournament.

On Saturday, Earlham (8-5, 0-3 NCAC) got on the scoreboard a mere 6:01 into the action and it remained 1-0 all the way until the 62nd minute. Then, Buckwald knocked in his 10th career goal via an assist from Brenton Allen. Buckwald would score unassisted during the 69th minute and the defense maintained the lead the rest of the way, with goalie Taylor Takacs tallying five saves for the match.

Buckwald accounted for all three of Wooster's goals during the week, giving him a team-high seven on the season.

The Scots are off until next Saturday when they welcome first-place Ohio Wesleyan University (10-4, 4-0 NCAC) to Carl Dale Memorial Field at 3:30 p.m.
