Box Score The Carthage College men's soccer team (6-2-0, 0-0-0 College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin) had a five-game winning streak snapped on Friday night, Sept. 21 with a 2-1 loss to St. Olaf College (4-2-1) at Art Keller Field in Kenosha, Wis.
 
Carthage's Mike Heika (Jr., Inverness, Ill./Palatine-Fremd) scored on a free kick at 3:20 first period to give Red Men an early 1-0 lead that held up for the next 69 minutes.  The Oles came back with two second-period scores, within a minute of each other.  Brenden Johnson tied the contest with a goal at 72:42, and David Rosenthal scored at 73:41 to put St. Olaf up by a 2-1 margin that held up. 

"Tonight we got to the red zone often but just couldn't quite pull the trigger,” said Carthage coach Steve DominBilly Hamilton and Drew Liogas had special nights for us, which as a team, we frankly squandered.  We certainly played an opponent with some powerful and experienced players, but we didn't back down early, and it turned out to be an entertaining match.  We just made too many little mistakes and giveaways, at key moments, which allowed them to build momentum.”

The Oles out-shot the Red Men, 22-9.  On Sunday, Sept. 23, the Red Men travel to Waverly, Iowa, for a 2 p.m. contest against Wartburg College (2-4-1) at the Wartburg Soccer Field.
