MEN’S SOCCER

UW-Superior 7, MLC 1

NEW ULM — The Martin Luther College men’s soccer team fell to the University of Wisconsin-Superior on a hot day for soccer in early October, as the Yellowjackets won 7-1 in UMAC action.

The scoring started early and often for UW-Superior, making it 2-0 right away at the ninth and 10th minutes, respectively. The Yellowjackets tacked on four additional goals in the remaining game time, but MLC broke the scoring column off of a breakaway goal scored by Abraham Schlomer near the 40th minute. With the goal, Schlomer recorded his first of the season, while the Knights snapped a three-game scoreless drought.

Despite being out shot by UW-Superior, MLC got off quite a few shots near the goal with a total of 10. Five of their shots were on target, with Schlomer leading with two. The Yellowjackets also had a 10-2 advantage in corner kicks.

MLC will return to the field with another home contest on Tuesday at 2 p.m. against Bethany.
