RESULT
MSOE RAIDERS – 2
Wisconsin Lutheran - 1
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The two sides battle-tested each other the entire first half, not allowing either side create an advantage. MSOE (14-1-3, 10-0-2 NACC) had a huge opportunity to strike first get called back on an offside call as Wisconsin Lutheran (8-7-2, 6-6-0 NACC) only had two shots taken as they headed into the break scoreless.
- The Warriors were the first to break the silence on a long pass that fed into the first goal of the game. Just when it seemed the momentum was all on their side, Tanner Cellio stepped in for a penalty kick that shot right through the left side to tie the match at one. Just in the final seconds, a free kick opportunity with the clocked stopped gave the Raiders a major opportunity to sneak away with the victory. A ricochet in the box found goalie Ethan Houseworth who stepped all the way down with 10 seconds remaining to take a lead and secure the win.
