"Purple Wall" Records 6th Straight Shutout

ALLIANCE, Ohio – Mount Union's men's soccer team picked up a 1-0 double overtime victory against Grove City (Pa.), Saturday evening.

The Raiders (6-0-1) and the Wolverines (2-6) were all tied up at zero until the 103rd minute when freshman Omar Najjar (Akron / Revere) found senior Rylan Wikle (Olmsted Falls) streaking down the field for the game winning goal in the second overtime.

The "Purple Wall" defense recorded its sixth consecutive shutout in the victory and has now held opponents scoreless for the last 579:08 of gametime. Junior goalkeeper Tyler Venti (Hudson) recorded a save in the victory.

The Raiders are back in action Wednesday, September 29 at 4 p.m. at the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio.
