Price, UT – USU Eastern men’s soccer team welcomed the Rustlers of Central Wyoming to town on Thursday afternoon.

Scoring in less than 30 seconds into the second half, off two great passes and a great finish was Josh Maughan.  After kicking off our central midfield sent a long ball on a dime to the foot of Parker Huff who then took a couple of touches blasted it across the box.  Josh buried the shot to demoralize the Rustlers who was riding high because of an additional player due to a Red Card given in the game.

The men’s final score was 2-1 with USU Eastern winning the game.  Goals were scored by Brandon Bejarano and Josh Maughan assisted by Joey Valle and Parker Huff.

“In spite of playing for more than half the game with 10 versus 11 due to an unjust red card, we were able to come away with the win. We controlled the game with more than 60% of the possession and more shots on goal.  I am so happy with the heart that my boys are showing this year,” said head coach Jared Woodhouse.
