Ryan Huelsman and Hector Gomez entered Friday’s NCAA Division III first-round matchup with Hope with one goal each through 21 games.

By the time the dust settled, both doubled their totals to lift the Ohio Wesleyan men’s soccer team to a 2-0 win in Holland, Mich.

Huelsman, a St. Charles grad, found the back of the net at the 75:39 mark of the second half to account for what proved to be the game-winning goal. Gomez, another Central Ohio product from DeSales, added an insurance goal less than three minutes later to all but seal the deal.

J.P. Baughman anchored the Bishop defense with three saves in goal.

The win sets up a second-round showdown against Chicago set for 5 p.m. today.
