SUPERIOR, Wis. – The Northland College Men's Soccer team falls just shy of taking a point from the top team in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference, the University of Wisconsin-Superior as they were defeated 2-1 Tuesday night in Superior, Wisconsin. The Jacks are the only team in the UMAC to score against the Yellowjackets in both games this season, scoring twice on Sept. 27 and one again tonight.
 
Keagan Culbertson had the first shot in the game in the seventh minute but missed the goal to the right. The Jacks' defense held the Yellowjackets without a shot for the first 15 minutes. Ben Limon had the first shot for UWS that was no problem for Jamie Colvill to save. In the 23^rd minute, the Yellowjackets got on the board with a goal from Mackie Ringrose. The Jacks had a few more shots in the half but ended the half down one.
 
The Yellowjackets almost went up two right from the whistle but hit the post keeping it a one-goal game. Tom Carey sent a ball forward and found Harrison Tibbetts and he got past the last defender as he does so well. Tibbetts had a one-on-one with the keeper and sent a low-driven ball toward the goal that defected off the keeper and leveled the game at one. In the 68^th minute, the Yellowjackets had a corner kick that ended up in the back of the net giving UW-Superior the lead back. The Jacks had a free kick deep in the Yellowjackets' in the final three minutes. Tibbets stepped up to take it and got under the ball sending it over the bar. Northland kept pushing forward but was unable to find the late equalizer.
 
Compared to the first time these teams met this year the Jacks had two more shots and held the Yellowjackets to only two goals. Tibbetts recorded four shots in the game leading the LumberJacks. He had the sole NC goal with Carey assisting it. Keagan Culbertson, Quinn Beiber and Ezra Walt. Colvill in goal, made eight saves in the match bringing his season total to 87.
 
The Jacks wrap up the regular season on Saturday as they host the University of Northwestern at Ponzio Stadium at 3:30 p.m.
