Box Score WHEATON, Ill. – Sometimes you play a game where the best thing to do once it's over is to put it in your rearview mirror and move on. MSOE men's soccer played in one of those contests last time out, falling to the Wheaton Thunder by six on Friday evening.
RESULT
MSOE RAIDERS – 0
Wheaton – 6
HOW IT HAPPENED
- MSOE (1-2-1) kept things close with Wheaton (3-0-0) in the first half, matching them with seven shots taken in the initial 45-minute frame.
- The Thunder were first to strike however, netting a goal in the 17th minute.
- While neither team scored after that in the opening period, it was all Wheaton in the second.
- The Thunder found the scoreboard five times in a 17-minute span to put the game out of reach for the Red & White.

- Wheaton's six goals were the most allowed by the Raiders since UW-Platteville netted eight back on September 22, 2010.
