Wichita, Kan. - Friends men's soccer came back to Adair-Austin Stadium for their second home game of the season. The Falcons were coming off of a loss to Southwestern Christian last weekend. The Falcons came back with a dominant 3-0 win against the Tigers of Central Christian.
It was a scorching hot kick off in Wichita where temperatures were sitting around the high 90's. Friends was determined to get back in the win column. The Falcons offense and defense complemented each other so well in this affair with the defense only allowing one shot on net in the 90 minutes.
As for the Falcons offense they got back on track like they did against Oklahoma City with tons of early chances and shots. Diego Marin opened up scoring with his 2nd goal of the season which was assisted by Ben Scognamillo in the 29th minute. Friends would put up nine shots in the first half without allowing the Tigers to gain one. Falcons up 1-0 after 45 minutes of play.
In the second half the Falcons stayed with their same script for when they play at home with relentless pressure on the defensive end to transition into scoring for the offense. Andrea Michael Xibilia scored three minutes into the second half netting his 1st of the season. After some back and forth play by both sides Xibilia would score his 2nd of the game in the 75th minute.
The Falcons would win this one 3-0 and post their first shutout of the season with goalkeeper Cameron Stout recording a save. The Friends offensive attack at home has been on another level compared to last season's effort. In the two home games played by the Falcons they have outshot their opponents 55 to 5, with 22 on net.
Men's soccer looks to earn the first road victory of the season as they will head to Atchison to take on Benedictine on Saturday (Sep. 5) at 11:00 am.
