Men's Soccer Falls 2-0 In A-R-C Semifinals Match

Brandon Lindholm

DECORAH, Iowa – The No. 3 seeded Wartburg men's soccer team (9-7-3 overall, 5-2-1 A-R-C) fell 2-0 to the No. 2 seeded Luther (15-3-1, 6-1-1) in the American Rivers Conference semifinals match on Wednesday night.
 
Luther's first goal came at the 27:56-minute mark, where Ben Keller scored on a header off of a corner kick by Bruno Colon. The goal serves as Keller's ninth goal of the year. Wartburg would keep the Norse out of the net the rest of the half, as they went into the break trailing 1-0.
 
At the half, the Knights were out-shooting the Norse nine to six, but trailed in corner kicks at 2-1. The Knights were only able to attempt two shots after the goal by Keller, as the Norse's number-one ranked defense held the Knights in check.
 
Luther scored its second goal of the game just past the 70th minute, as Marc-Arthur Shapiro scored on a cross into the lower left corner off of a pass from Faydane Ouro-Akondo. The goal gave the Norse the 2-0 lead and would prove to be too much for the Knights to overcome as they fell to Luther 2-0.
 
With the loss, the Knights season comes to a close at 9-7-3 overall.
