Yellow Jackets shut out by Otterbein

DEFIANCE, Ohio—The Defiance College Yellow Jacket Men’s Soccer team lost to Otterbein by the score of 5-0.

Otterbein jumped out to an early lead, scoring in the first minute on their first shot on goal. The Cardinals ended up with four goals by the end of the first half, including a goal off of a penalty kick.
