MILWAUKEE – MSOE men's soccer returned home to Viets Field for the first time since October 9^th needing to right the ship in order to lock down a postseason berth. They did just that, snapping a two-game losing streak with a one goal shutout of Aurora on Saturday.

RESULT
Aurora – 0
MSOE RAIDERS – 1

HOW IT HAPPENED

• MSOE (9-5-3, 7-2-2 NACC) and Aurora (7-6-3, 5-4-2 NACC) each had a lot to play for this afternoon but proceeded to have a mostly back and forth first half with each team only getting a few good looks at the net.
• The second half was almost a carbon copy of the first as things looked like the Raiders would head to their sixth overtime contest of the season.
• Jonny Keane decided that he didn't want to play more than 90 minutes though, knocking in a rebound off the Spartans keeper to give the Red & White a 1-0 lead in the 79^th minute with the assist going to Daniel D'Amato.
• MSOE was successful in keeping Aurora at bay during their final push as the clock ticked down to zero, giving themselves their fourth shutout victory of 2021.

RAIDER REMARKS

• The Raiders are now 3-2 in their last five games against the Spartans with all three wins being shutouts.
• Jonny Keane's goal this afternoon was the first of his career.
• The Raiders officially clinched a NACC tournament spot with the victory and will continue their quest for back-to-back postseason championships.

WHO'S ON DECK
