MEN’S SOCCER
Prairie Fire down Storm
GALESBURG— The Knox College men’s soccer team defeated Simpson College on Saturday at Jorge Prats Field, needing just a single goal to claim victory. With the win, the Prairie Fire’s second shutout in a row, their record now sits at 3-4 overall.
The opening minutes of the first half set the tone for the rest of the game, as it was clear from the beginning that neither team had a decided advantage in any facet of the game. Both Knox and Simpson traded shots on goal, but neither team looked very threatening on the offensive end.
The Prairie Fire outshot the Storm 5-3 total in the first half, and an Adrian Segura strike in the 41st minute nearly found its way through to goal. Despite these promising signs at the end of the half, neither team made an impact on the scoreline as the halftime whistle blew.
The second half saw an increase in offensive efficiency from both teams, as Simpson began hammering Knox’s goal with shot after shot. Fortunately, Nick Lantzendorffer made several fantastic saves and proved to be a steadying force for the Prairie Fire at a shaky point in the game.
As the half was winding down and a draw seemed like the likely outcome, Joey Dorgan scored in the 83rd minute, sending the fans into a frenzy and giving Knox a late lead.
The Prairie Fire managed to hold on and secure the win, capping off a captivating match.
