BELOIT, Wis. - Last night the Beloit College Men's Soccer team traveled north to Appleton, Wis. for a MWC matchup with the Vikings of Lawrence University. The Bucs (1-7, 1-1) looked to carry the momentum of their first win of the season over into this game. The Vikings (0-6-3, 0-1-1) were looking to finally get in the win column.
LU held the edge in total shots (19-12) but BC was more efficient with their shots, putting 9 on goal compared to 3 from LU. Despite the SOG discrepancy, the Vikings got on the board first.
