Marshalltown -- A pair of first-half goals by sophomore Pedro Jurno stood up thanks to some strong goaltending by Marcus Filgueiras as the Indian Hills men's soccer team completed a season sweep with a 2-1 road win on Wednesday.
The victory put the Warriors' season record back at the .500 mark at 6-6, heading into a key matchup with Iowa Western at home on Saturday.
Jurno's first goal came on a free kick just five minutes into the contest. He lofted a winding attempt past MCC keeper Edwin Jovel to put IHCC on the board.
Jurno added another free-kick goal in the 43rd minute of the opening half, when his shot from just outside the penalty box ricocheted off an MCC player and into the back of the net.
With their 2-0 lead intact, the Warriors packed in the defense in the second half. MCC managed to get to within one goal when Eric Mavakala scored from the top of the box in the 75th minute. Filgueiras made some big saves after that as IHCC held on.
Indian Hills defeated Marshalltown 2-1 in overtime earlier in the fall.
The Warriors had 11 shots in the contest, three each by Jurno and Jules Ruremesha.
Indian Hills coach Doug Seigle said, "It was a great win on the road for us. To get the sweep over Marshalltown and get back to .500 for the season means we're really peaking at the right time. If we can stay on a roll we may put ourselves in a great position for the postseason."
