The visiting Rangers scored four unanswered goals in the second half, breaking away from a 2-2 halftime gridlock and taking a 6-2 victory at Southern Indiana Friday night. For UW-Parkside head men's soccer coach Rick Kilps, it was his 399th career victory in his long and successful career.

UW-Parkside scored the first two goals of the game in a wild Great Lakes Valley Conference contest. Tim Thao (Maplewood, Minn.) tallied off of a corner kick put in play by his cousin Johnson Thao (St. Paul, Minn.) just 2:38 into the match. Late in the first half, in the 40th minute, Bojan Jovicic (Milwaukee, Wis.) moved the mesh with his ninth goal of the season, putting the Ranger on top by two.

The Screaming Eagles, now 4-8-1 overall and 2-6 in the GLVC, stormed back with a pair of goals early in the second half to knot things up. Zoran Jovicic (Milwaukee, Wis.), Armin Mehic (Sarajevo, Bosnia), Johnson Thao and Bojan Jovicic tallied consecutive goals for the Rangers accounting for the 6-2 final.

UW-Parkside put nine shots on goal. Ranger goalkeeper Victor Perez stopped four of the six USI shots on net.

The win lifts UW-Parkside to 8-4-1 overall and are now .500 in conference play at 4-4-1.

Kilps will have win No. 400 in the balance when the team plays at Kentucky Wesleyan Sunday afternoon.
