Carthage Falls at North Park

CHICAGO — Ending a five match unbeaten streak for Carthage, the men's soccer team fell 4-0 to North Park on Wednesday night at the Holmgren Athletic Complex.

Nearly eight minutes into the game, the Vikings (7-3, 2-0 CCIW) scored to take a 1-0 lead. However, the Firebirds (6-2-2, 0-1-1 CCIW) seemed to quickly respond after a long throw-in before the goal was negated on a penalty. North Park would score midway through the first half, before adding two early in the second to go on to win 4-0.

Carthage returns home this weekend to host North Central on Saturday, October 2 at 7 p.m.
 

Head Coach Steve Domin

"North Park is a great side, they have some older outstanding talent, and they capitalized on every one of our weak moments. Credit to them. I have been part of some wild games, but this one is right at the top, essentially traveling uphill out of the gate. The situation led to a lopsided result, and really hurt in the moment. In our youth we will keep learning and gaining experiences."
