Reiter Scores Twice as Warriors Win Second Straight

Ottumwa -- A pair of goals by freshman Cheyne Reiter allowed Indian Hills to post its first two-game winning streak of the season as the Warriors blanked Iowa Lakes CC, 2-0, Wednesday at the Walsh Soccer Complex.

Indian Hills got its second straight outstanding performance in goal. Freshman keeper Ben Smiley notched the shutout for the Warriors. Smiley had six saves. Noah Cutler had turned in a solid game in the nets earlier in the week against Scott CC.

The Warriors defeated Scott, 3-1, on Monday and the win against Iowa Lakes gives IHCC some momentum heading into their final regular season match against NIACC in Mason City on Saturday. In that match, the Warriors will be looking to avenge an earlier 3-1 loss to NIACC. Earlier this month, NIACC knocked off nationally-ranked Marshalltown CC.

Saturday's action in Mason City starts at 4:00 pm.

Warriors Sweep Scott

Bettendorf, IA -- For the second time this season, Indian Hills got strong goaltending and just enough offense to knock off Scott CC. The Warriors defeated Scott 3-0 on Monday after defeating them 4-1 earlier in the season.

In the latest win for IHCC, Isidore Ekukanjuh scored two goals for the Warriors and Damian Sheerin had the other goal. Sheerin also had an assist on one of Ekukanjuh's goals and Jaleel Mirzai had an assist as well.

Freshman goalkeeper Noah Cutler allowed just the lone Scott goal and turned in a very solid performance for IHCC.

The win puts the Warriors' season record at 2-10 heading into a home match with Iowa Lakes on Wednesday.

Warriors Lose Heartbreaker to Iowa Western

Council Bluffs, IA -- Iowa Western scored the game-winning goal with one minute left in overtime as the Reivers knocked off Indian Hills, 2-1, on Saturday in Council Bluffs. The loss drops the Warriors' season record to 1-8, but it was the latest in a string of close losses for IHCC.

Freshman Cheyne Reiter opened the scoring with a goal for IHCC just seven minutes into the match. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Ben Smiley kept the home team off the scoreboard until there were 15 minutes remaining in the second half when the Reivers scored the tying goal. They then scored the deciding goal late in the OT session.

Smiley had a great game according to IHCC coach Kirk Artist piling up 12 saves and continually thwarting the IWCC attack.

Indian Hills will head to Fort Dodge on Wednesday to take on Iowa Central. IHCC will look to avenge an earlier 5-1 loss to the Tritons.
