ASHLAND, Wis.--- The Northland College Men's Soccer team hosted the College of St. Scholastica this evening in a non-conference match at Ponzio Stadium. After trailing 4-0 at halftime, the Jacks came roaring back in the second half but time would run out as the Jacks would fall to the Saints 4-3. 

Box Score 

Scholastica scored three goals in the opening half to jump out to the early 3-0 lead. Later in the half, the Saints would extend their lead to 4-0 and would take that score into the half. Izaak Clarke, who was drug down inside the box, would get the Jacks on the board with their first goal, smoking a PK goal into the net to make it 4-1 just 6 minutes into the second half. Just seconds later, Clarke would make a miraculous play zigzagging through the Saints defense after a beautiful pass from Jonah Evans to net his second goal of the game to make it a 4-2 ball game. The Jacks continued the momentum just minutes later as Thomas Carey would head a pass up to Nick Diaz and with the CSS goalie coming out, Diaz was able to side step the goalie and blast a goal from just outside the box to make it 4-3. The Jacks would have their opportunities late to tie the game but would come up short as the Saints would take this one 4-3 over the Jacks. 

Shots in tonight's game were 13-11 in favor of the Saints. 

Garren Aberth made 6 saves in net today for the Jacks.
