KENOSHA, Wis. — The Parkside men's soccer team closed out the non-conference portion of the 2023 schedule on Tuesday, playing host to the Lake Erie Storm. The Storm were able to get two late first half goals and Parkside was unable to break through in the second half, leading to a 2-0 score in favor of Lake Erie. 

In a matchup with regional implications, the two sides found themselves in a back and forth scoreless affair early. Lake Erie finally broke through in the 41st minute with Aaron Garrote's third goal of the season. Just four minutes later in the 45th minute a Parkside penalty in the box resulted in a Storm penalty kick goal, making it 2-0 Storm. 

Parkside controlled the pace most of the second half, but were unable to break through. The Rangers outshot the Storm 9-3 in the second half and created five corner kicks, but no opportunity resulted in a goal. 

The Rangers will return to action on Friday afternoon against Davenport. Opening kickoff is set for 11:00am from Kenosha. Links to coverage including the live stream through FloSports can be found at ParksideRangers.com/coverage.
