ST. PAUL -- The Northwestern College men's soccer team had a strong showing in its 2009 season debut, battling with the University of St. Thomas despite a slim 1-0 loss.

The Eagles' Danny King (Willmar, MN/Willmar High School) (Willmar, Minn./Willmar) made three excellent saves in the game, but St. Thomas' Mike Hutton put a shot past King in the 64th minute - a goal that would prove to be the game-winner.
