Purdue Northwest 2, Parkside 1

HEAR FROM COACH ZITZKE

"We weren't dangerous enough today in the final third," head coach Jason Zitzke said. "We weren't getting results and we got a little impatient."
"Purdue Northwest did a good job of countering and that's how they got their goals," Zitzke added. "They were very organized defensively and we couldn't break that down. We have to bounce back after a tough result."

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Pride was able to put themselves on the scoreboard first, with a goal in the 10th minute. Senior Vic Vera was quick to respond and in the 14th minute, Vera put away his own goal, tying the game.
 
Purdue Northwest was able to score one final time in the first half making the game 2-1, which it would remain until the clock expired.  

STATWORTHY

Vera and junior Burim Huseini lead the Rangers with five shots a piece, followed by junior Kapaw Htoo with two. Parkside had four corner kicks on the match and tallied 12 fouls.
