First-place Tommies rally late to top Scots 2-1

Box Score
St. Thomas kept its first-place hold in the MIAC standings by scoring the tying and go-ahead goals in the final 15 mintues to gain a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over the Scots at UST's South Field Wednesday afternoon.  The Tommies remain unbeaten in the conference at 6-0 and go to 10-2-2 overall, while the Scots drop to 2-4 in the MIAC and 3-9-1 overall.  The Scots drop their sixth one-goal decision.

Ben Dugoni (Jr., Portland, Ore. / Oregon Episcopal) scored off a corner kick from Robin Forslund (Jr., Madison, Wis. / Memorial) to give the visiting Scots a 1-0 advantage in the 52nd minute following a scoreless first half.  Forslund, an All-MIAC midfielder, picks up his team-leading fourth assist.

The Tommies held Mac off the scoreboard the rest of the way, and tallied the equalizer in the 77th minute .  Ninety seconds later, UST's Nick Rapisarda scored his 10th goal of the year for the game-winner.

Each team managed just three shots on net, with St. Thomas owning a 12-6 overall lead in shots.

Macalester travels to Northfield Saturday afternoon (Oct. 13) for an MIAC match at St. Olaf.
