West Virginia Wesleyan Athletics will be highlighting past moments and successes in the department with On This Day. 

On Sept. 8, 2017, the West Virginia Wesleyan men's soccer team opened up Mountain East Conference play with a commanding 3-0 victory over Urbana at Culpepper Stadium.

Conor Davies put Wesleyan on the board in the 36^th minute when he played a pass to the back post from Matthew Bentley.  

Only 90 seconds later, Guillermo Reuda crushed a shot from about 10 yards inside the midfield line past the Urbana keeper. The Blue Knights got hit with a pair of red card ejections in the 68^th minute when Urbana was hit with two red card ejections.

Playing with a two-man advantage and a two-goal lead, WVWC controlled the rest of the game and added their third goal in the 84^th minute when Kazuma Takagi fired a cross to Juwon Akintunde, who scored with a touch in front of the net.

Bobcat keeper Alessandro Armenia turned away three shots in the shutout win. At the time, Wesleyan improved to 2-0-1 overall and 1-0 in MEC play.
