BOX SCORE

PENSACOLA, Fla. - The University of West Florida men's soccer put five goals past Delta State to get the win on Sunday.

It took just 15 minutes for Kameron Bethell to open the scoring for UWF flicking on a corner from Barrett Mills into the back post past the Delta State goalkeeper. Bethell's header was his first goal of the season.

Ten minutes later Sergio Otalora ran onto a through ball from Ed Chappe and muscled a Delta State defender off the ball to slot home number two for the Argos. Otalora's finish was also his first of the season.

In the 64th minute Sean Hoffstatter was fouled in the box after causing a turnover from the Delta State back line. Hoffstatter stepped up and sent the keeper diving in the wrong direction as he placed the ball lower left to make it 3-0.

Three minutes later Sergio Otalora would again capitalize on a defensive error dribbling the keeper and passing the ball into an open goal to put four on the board for UWF.

In the 70th minute Delta State would get one back as the ball dropped for Brock Hollier in the box for a quick finish to make it 4-1.

UWF would have the last goal with yet another turnover from the Delta State center backs forced by Erick Rivera, who ripped a shot rebounding from the outstretched hands of the Delta State goalkeeper to Isaiah Lopez who placed the ball into the back of the net to make it 5-1.

Jacob Murray had five saves on the day against Delta State. Delta State was issued four cautions. UWF had a total of ten shots on target to Delta State's six.

UWF move to 2-4 overall and 1-3 in the GSC play. Delta State have yet to win a game in GSC play, and are 2-5-1 overall.

UWF will be back in action on September 28 against Mobile at home at UWF Soccer Complex at 6:00pm.
