FULTON - A pair of second half goals from Peyton Coker and Luis Cosme did little to erase a 2-0 first half deficit, as Northwest wound up on the wrong end of a 5-2 decision at Itawamba on Tuesday afternoon.

Northwest fell to 1-8-1 overall and 1-5-1 in the MACCC North Division, while the Indians improved to 6-5 on the season and 5-2 in division competition.

Scoreless through the first 15 minutes, Itawamba's Jalin Boyd ended the silence with a goal in the 17th minute, scoring off a feed from Jose Villanueva. Boyd would go on to score the first three ICC goals, adding another in the 18th minute and the 60th minute.

Trailing 3-0, the Rangers on the board after a misplaced ball from the Indians' goalkeeper resulted in a put-back from Coker in the 67th minute.

Northwest's momentum would be short-lived though, as Diego Valenzuela pushed the Indians back to a three-goal advantage in the 73rd minute.

Cosme added the Rangers' second and final goal off a free kick in the 80th minute, only for Itawamba to strike back with a goal from Ruben Perez in the 82nd minute, sealing the match at a 5-2 loss for Northwest.

Itawamba outshot the Rangers 24-10 for the match and 17-5 on-goal. Northwest goalkeeper Dustin Brown collected 12 saves in a full 90 minutes of action.

Northwest will conclude the regular season on Friday, May 14 in a Sophomore Day match against Holmes. The match is slated for a 3 P.M. start time at the Senatobia Sports Park.
