The University of Southern Indiana men's soccer team lost to Northern Kentucky University, 3-1, this afternoon at Strassweg Field. The loss drops the Screaming Eagles to 6-9 overall, 2-7 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, and eliminates them from post-season contention.
After falling behind 1-0 early in the match, USI's
Matt Settles (Evansville, Indiana) used a feed from sophomore
Jared Anslinger (Evansville, Indiana) to tie the match at 1-1 going into halftime.
USI self-destructed in the second half as 13 NKU shots led to two goals and the 3-1 win.
The Eagles will play one last time at Strassweg Field Wednesday, October 24 in a makeup game against Kentucky Wesleyan College. That match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. USI will conclude its 2001 schedule Friday, October 26 at McKendree College in a 3 p.m. start.
