Red Hawks Lose Another Nailbiter
October 28, 2006
Box Score

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. - The Red Hawk men's soccer team has had some tough losses so far this season, losing six games by a single goal. Saturday, they lost their seventh one-goal game, losing at Illinois College 3-2.

Illinois College (3-10-2) got on the board first on a goal by Chris Schulte in the ninth minute. Ripon (1-14) finally evened the score in the 28th minute on a goal by Demba Camara.

This contest would go back and forth all day, as the Blueboys took the lead once more just after halftime on a Brian O'Connor goal. They added an insurance goal later in the half, as Gabe Cowan scored off a Jon Reid pass. Ripon wouldn't say die though, as Camara connected on his second goal of the game with just under 16 minutes remaining. Neither team could muster another score the rest of the way, as Illinois College took home the conference victory.

The Red Hawks will wrap up the season on Sunday with a game at Monmouth University. Gametime is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. and will be preceded by the women's contest.
