Men’s soccer is sitting at 1-8-1 after losing 4-0 to Johnson and Wales on October 1. They put up quite a fight however getting a couple first half chances on goal and sophomore Parker Davis coming up with first half saves to keep the gap to 1. Second half however Johnson and Wales managed to net another 3, putting them up 4-0.

This was the first of two Saturday homecoming games, the men played first at 2:30 and due to weather the women’s start time was pushed back to 4:30.
