First Win Comes in OT for IHCC

Ottumwa -- Damian Sheerin's goal four minutes into overtime allowed Indian Hills to post its first win of the season Wednesday, 2-1 over Marshalltown CC.

Marshalltown's Edwin Martinez had tied the score at 1-all with a goal with a few minutes left in regulation. But Sheerin's game-winner, off a pass from Austin Kelly, came early in overtime and sent the Warriors home happy.

Kelly had scored the first goal for IHCC in the 22nd minute. It was also the Warriors' first goal of the season. Indian Hills had been shut out in its first two matches.

IHCC got a strong performance from goalkeeper Marcus Filgueiras who stopped three MCC shots.

The Warriors take their 1-2 record to Council Bluffs this Saturday for a matchup with Iowa Western.

The Warriors will be at home against Marshalltown CC on Wednesday afternoon at 2:00.

Warriors Lose Heartbreaker in Opener

Ottumwa -- Iowa Lakes' Francisco Ochoa tallied the only goal of the game as the Lakers spoiled Indian Hills' season opener on Tuesday at the Walsh Soccer Complex. Ochoa's goal came in the 34th minute and the visitors made it stand up for the 1-0 win.

Indian Hills' goalkeeper Ben Smiley had four saves and the Warriors outshot Iowa Lakes 11-6.

Despite the loss, new IHCC head coach Doug Seigle saw some positive things from his team. "I think we outplayed them as a team and had more talent," said Seigle. "We're just a bunch of individuals learning to play as a team."

The Warriors will travel to Mason City this Saturday to battle NIACC. They will have a chance to avenge Tuesday's loss when they play at Iowa Lakes on Sept. 28.
