Men's Soccer Earns Win over MLC in Overtime

MANKATO, Minn. – The men's soccer team entered the game Tuesday night at home versus Martin Luther College in need of a conference victory to keep their playoff hopes alive. Kenny Johnson (Otsego, Minn./Rogers) was able to do just that, as he scored the team's only goal in the 94^th minute of play.
 
Last time these teams met, the intense rivalry created great competition, but the Vikings were able to come away with the 4-3 win over the Knights. Tuesday night's game picked up right where the late September game left off, as the game remained physical from the first whistle to the last.
 
Johnson's goal in overtime, which gave the Vikings a crucial victory, was assisted by Mike Loguercio (Tavernier, Fla./Florida Keys CC). Defensively for the Vikings, goalkeeper Matt Bitter (Bemidji, Minn.) had six saves per period, totaling 12 saves on night.
 
On Saturday, October 17^th, the Vikings will travel to Duluth to take on the Saints from St. Scholastica for another important conference game. Game time is scheduled for 3:15 p.m.
