The Lakeland College men's soccer team lost a tough match versus rival of the Northern Athletics Conference, Edgewood College, 7-3. The game was kept close in the first half with Lakeland on top 2-1.
Sophomore defender Doua Vang and junior midfeilder Matt Van Drunen were the two credited with the goals in the first half. Edgewood continued to be forced to play on their heals as Zach Buchman, a Senior midfielder, scored the Muskies third goal on a penalty kick. Unfortunately, Edgewood was able to score five goals to answer back for the win.
The men's soccer team also lost a 3-0 decision to UW-Oshkosh this past Monday, October 15th. Oshkosh was able to put 19 shot attempts on the Muskies but they only gave up 3. Offensively they didn't match as well as the defense had played. Head Coach Dave Madsen did see some positives that he had to point out from the game.
"Today was probably one of our better games in terms of defensive organization," Madsen said. "We made it difficult for them to get in good positions to score, and I was happy to see that our defense was frustrating them and making them work for the shots they did get."
The Muskies get back to facing a Northern Athletics Conference opponent against Marian College.
"With local rivalry games you kind of throw the record out the window and see what happens on that particular day," Madsen said. "I think at this point we can put everything else that has happened this year aside and see what the players bring."
They face Marian at 7 p.m. in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on Wednesday Oct 17.
