MILWAUKEE – Entering the NACC tournament as the fourth seed, MSOE men's soccer knew that they would have a tough test in front of them in No. 5 seed Concordia Wisconsin. The Raiders battled throughout the contest and a bit of luck sent them into the semifinal round on Saturday afternoon at Viets Field.

RESULT
No. 5 seed Concordia Wisconsin – 2
No. 4 seed MSOE RAIDERS – 3

HOW IT HAPPENED

• This afternoon's ballgame was a tale of two halves. MSOE (10-6-3, 7-3-2 NACC) outshot Concordia Wisconsin (9-8-1, 7-4-1 NACC) 11-3 in the first while CUW topped the Raiders 12-6 in the second.
• It was the Red & White that lit up the scoreboard first when Jonny Keane headed in a Konrad Knap corner to make it 1-0.
• Knap would pick up another assist less than 90 seconds later when Alexander Vujovic knocked in the free kick that Knap sent his way to up the Raiders up by two.
• The Falcons pulled with in one before the end of the first half and then tied the contest just three minutes into the second frame.
• The Raiders came away victorious but didn't do it in the traditional way. MSOE got their game winning goal when a Lu Shi Peng Xiong shot was saved only to be knocked in by the CUW defender standing right in front of his own keeper.

RAIDER REMARKS

• MSOE has gone 5-3-2 in their last ten games against the Falcons.
• The Raiders have now made the NACC semifinals in five straight seasons dating back to 2017.
