RIPON, Wis. - It took twelve games, including six one goal losses, but Ripon finally found that elusive first win of the season Sunday afternoon. The Red Hawks (1-11, 1-5) defeated Knox College (2-6-2, 0-4-1), 1-0 in an intense battle.

The first half was evenly played with neither team getting on the board. Ripon finally broke through with a goal in the 53rd minute, as Andrew McKee dumped off a nice pass to Chris Quillman for the lone goal of the contest. From there, Ripon let their defense carry them to victory.

Ripon will look to begin a string of victories next Sunday, as they'll host Carroll College at 1:30. That game will be preceded by the women's contest.
