Box Score

St. PAUL -- The Northwestern College men's soccer team is still searching for its first win of the season after losing 2-0 to the University of St. Thomas Tuesday afternoon.

St. Thomas got on the scoreboard in the14th minute of the game as a result of a Nick Rapisarda goal. The Eagles held the Tommies scoreless for the rest of the first half, but 5:56 into the second period Kit Weaver gave the home team their second goal of the game.

St. Thomas outshot NWC 25-1 and kept the Eagles from posting a shot on goal. The Tommies also owned the advantage in corner kicks, tallying five in comparison to Northwestern's zero.

After giving up 16 shots in the first 45 minutes of play, the Eagles showed defensive improvement in the second half, decreasing the number of attacks to nine. In goal, Shane Coleman (Wyoming, Minn./Homeschool) and newcomer Bishop Anyiwe (Bloomington, Minn./Kennedy) each finished with a second-half save for NWC.

The Eagles (0-2) will have a couple days of practice before another non-conference matchup on Friday against Bethel University. Friday will mark NWC's home opener for the 2012 campaign, with kickoff set for 4 p.m.
