Box Score The Carthage College men's soccer team (7-6-0, 1-1-0 College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin) evened its CCIW season record on Saturday, Oct.11 with a 2-0 win over Illinois Wesleyan University (7-7-0, 1-1-0) at Art Keller Field in Kenosha, Wis.
Â
The Red Men took an early, 1-0 lead when
Johnny Rimkus (Fr., Kenosha, Wis./Bradford) scored at 1:46, assisted by

Arnoldo Reyes (Sr., Northlake, Ill./Franklin Park-West Leyden) by 30:05. The shots were even at 11 apiece, with the Red Men having a 4-0 advantage in corner kicks.

"Frankly, today's game really made our match versus North Central hurt a little more--we should be 2-0 in the league," said Carthage coach Steve Domin. "The guys really played through the first period with pace and certainly more precision than in the second.  The game got chippy in the second half, and we thought it better to rest some folks with a lead. It was a solid win vs. a top-ten regional team. Any win in the CCIW is hard earned"

Carthage plays host to CCIW-opponent and No. 5 Wheaton College (Ill., 12-2-0, 2-0-0 CCIW) on Wednesday, Oct. 15 in a 7 p.m. contest, alsp at Art Keller Field.
