ST. PAUL, Minn.- The Macalester College men's soccer team suffered their first defeat this season to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges tonight, losing 1-0.

The Scots played a close battle with the Stags, with neither team scoring in the first half. Macalester opened the half quickly in the 13th minute with a shot by first year Ben Wagner (Orchard Park, N.Y./Orchard Park) that sailed high. That remained one of two shots for Macalester in the first half, the other coming from season-leading scorer senior Clayton Smith (Plymouth, Minn./Wyzata) shooting wide left with 15 minutes left in the half.

The Scots defense was solid in the back limiting Claremont-Mudd-Scripps to only four shots in the half.

Coming out of halftime still tied 0-0, the Scots defense broke first as the Stags scored off a one time shot from a short corner in the 56th minute. Smith forced the Stags to make a defense save when he bicycled a shot in the 85th minute on frame only to be saved off the line by the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps defense.

With Smith's shot and two others the Scots out shot the Stags in the second half but were unable to score, losing 1-0.

The Scots return to play away on Sunday, Sept. 9, away at Pomona Pitzer in Claremont, Calif. at 1:00 p.m.
