Welch at his best as Huskies win away game at West Virginia

DeKALB — Junior midfielder Alex Welch scored the Huskies’ final two goals Friday to help secure a 4-2 win against West Virginia University.

Welch and senior forward Jan Maertins were on point all night as both were excellent at picking their spots to attack. Head Coach Ryan Swan said Welch’s play was excellent.

“We ask a lot from [Welch] on [the offense],” Swan said. “For him to put in all that work today it was huge for the win.”

Welch led the team with two goals and two assists, and put three shots on target.
