Waverly, Iowa – Playing their third game of the fall season, the Macalester College men's soccer team traveled to Waverly, Iowa to take on the Knights of Wartburg College in a non-conference game. Despite a hard-fought battle, the Scots fell to the Knights 2-0.

The Scots were heavy on the offense in the first half, registering five shots. However, it was Wartburg's Jack Palen who's scored the first goal of the game in the 22^nd minute. First year Hans Haenicke (Lisle, Ill./Benet Academy) and junior Silas Southworth (Lancaster, N.H./White Mountains Regional) both had shots on target that were saved by the Knights' goalkeeper, Brennon Woody.

In the second half, the Scots continued to fight and try to earn back a goal. Good defending from the Scots kept the team at just a 1-0 deficit until the 73^rd minute when Yushin Gossin doubled the Knights' lead. Despite attempts from seniors Will Orser (Eau Claire, Wis./Eau Claire Memorial) and Rohit Shah (Sunnyvale, CA/Harker School) the Scots could not overcome the deficit.
 
The Scots now have a season record of (1-2) and look to come back stronger. The team's next game will be Sept. 10 at 7:30 p.m. against #19 University of Chicago. The game will be located at Macalester Stadium.
