Box Score The Carthage College men's soccer team (5-2-0, 0-0-0 College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin) outlasted Concordia College (Moorhead, 1-4-1), 2-1, on Saturday, Sept. 14 the seventh-annual Carthage "Battle on the Border" at Art Keller Field in Kenosha, Wis.

Carthage took a 1-0 lead at 19:45 first period on a goal by Kevin Hilgart (Sr., Geneva, Ill.), assisted by Billy Hamilton. Concordia (Moorhead) tied the game at 44:27 when Brett Wegleitner scored. The Red Men broke the tie at 82:58 on a goal by Michael Dombrowski (Jr., Johnsburg, Ill.), his sixth of the year. The Red Men out-shot the Cobbers, 21-6.

"I would say we were bound to have one of these games," said Carthage coach Steve Domin. "That is, where we really get forward, create a lot of chances but seem to run out of real estate. It's like a football team being in the red zone so often, your options get limited with so many people behind the ball. Our center backs did a great job of winning balls tonight. Taylor Pignataro and Atli Einarsson, for the most, part kept their attack at bay. We have to get a little cleaner for the next few opponents."

Carthage closes the tournament on Sunday, Sept. 15 with a 7 p.m. game against Lake Forest College (2-3-0) In a neutral-site tournament game, Concordia (Moorhead) defeated Robert Morris University-Lake County (0-2-0), 2-1 in double-overtime, on Friday, Sept. 13.
