Box Score
Macalester closed out its season on a winning note, beating St. Mary's 1-0 in overtime in Winona on a goal in the 98th minute by
Taro Takigawa (Jr., Moraga, Calif. / The College Preparatory School) on a header off a corner kick from
Robert Tomecek (Fy., Lisle, Ill. / Benet Academy). The Scots finish at .500 both overall and in the conference, going 8-8-2 overall and 4-4-2 in the MIAC. The team doubles its overall and MIAC victory from a year ago.
The Scots close out the campaign with a pair of shutout wins to even their final record (earlier in the week Mac blanked Concordia 2-0). They wind up in seventh in the final MIAC standings.
In the final stats, Macalester out-shot SMU 35-7 and led 5-1 in corner kick chances. Takigawa recorded his first goal of the season and first of his Mac career, and Tomecek ties for the team lead in assists with his fifth.
