Pacheco’s goal and Krenc’s clean sheet help give Tommies 1-0 win over Milwaukee
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Tommies' strong performance propelled them to a 1-0 victory over the Milwaukee Panthers. A solid first half on both sides of the ball gave them the momentum to take the lead in the second half.
Overall, the Tommies launched five shots and put three on goal. The Tommie defense held strong the whole game, consistently shutting down the Panther's offensive opportunities.
RECAP
It was a competitive start to the match, with the first half ending scoreless for both teams. The Tommies attempted one shot in the first half, while the Panthers put three on goal. Late in the second half, the Panthers had an opportunity to take the lead with a penalty kick. But, freshman goalkeeper, Moritz Krenc, stepped up and made a kick save to keep the game tied at 0-0.
Second half action started off with momentum for the Tommies, with a goal coming from Jorge Pacheco in the first three minutes of the second half. The goal was the sophomore's first of his career. The ultimately game-winning goal came from a shot off the cross bar that came right to Pacheco who headed it in.
The Tommies' strong defensive performance kept the game scoreless. The Tommies finished the game with three shots on goal, while the Panthers had five. Goalkeeper, Moritz Krenc, earned his first shutout and first collegiate win with a victory on South Field.
TOP TOMMIES
· Freshman keeper, Moritz Krenc tallied five saves and a clean sheet in his first career win.
· Sophomore, Jorge Pacheco scored his first career goal in the 1-0 victory.
· Sophomore, Faris Colic had the assist on the goal for the Tommies to go along with 2 shots on goal. Colic currently leads the Tommies with five points so far this season.
QUOTEABLES
Thoughts from head coach Jon Lowery after the 1-0 shutout victory:
"The goalkeeping was fantastic. Our whole goalkeeping crew has been fantastic with Coach Cropper, and I think today you saw an example of all their good work. I thought there was another goal in there for us at times, but I love how perseverant we were. I don't think we were at our best today, but we showed a lot of grit, a lot of resolve and trusted the game plan."

The Tommies continue Summit League play and travel to play the Western Illinois Leathernecks next Saturday, October 7th at 1:00 p.m. Any and all information pertaining to the St. Thomas Men's soccer team can be found at tommiesports.com and on Twitter and Instagram at @TommieMSoccer.
