Minneapolis, Minn. – In their seventh game of the season, the Macalester men's soccer team traveled to Minneapolis to play Augsburg University in a conference matchup on Saturday afternoon. Despite out-shooting the Auggies sixteen to seven, the Scots fell 1-0. The Scots now have a record of 3-4 (1-1-0 MIAC).

The Scots looked to put pressure on the Auggies early. Within the first eight minutes of the game, first year Hans Haenicke (Lisle, Ill./Benet Academy), and seniors Omar Anwar (St. Paul, Minn./Roseville Area) and Ben Wagner (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park) each got a shot off. The Scots continued to press forward. However, the stalemate was finally broken in the 30^th minute by Augsburg's Kobby Owu.

The Scots continued to press in the second half. Shots by juniors Thomas Dono (Plymouth, Mich./Salem) and Joey Stern (Chicago, Ill./Francis W. Parker) forced the Augsburg goalkeeper, Oscar Herrera to make a couple saves. Macalester continued to battle and sought to earn back a goal.
 
Despite registering seven shots in the second half, the ball didn't find the back of the net for the Scots and the score line ended 1-0 in favor of the Auggies. The Scots' next match will be a non-conference game against University of Minnesota-Morris. Kickoff will be at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 21, at Macalester Stadium.
