Beloit outshot the hosts 33-12 overall and 17-5 on goal.  Tom Slusher, Anthony Racine and Ryan Munger finished with two goals apiece for the Bucs.  First-year player Maxwell Gatyas (Plymouth, Wisconsin) scored the Prairie Fire's second goal of the match on a penalty kick at the 53:38 mark.

The Prairie Fire (2-14-1, 0-8 MWC) play the last match of the 2010 season Tuesday at Monmouth College at 3:30 p.m.  The match will be the home finale for the Fighting Scots (3-11, 2-5 MWC).

Saturday's contest at Jorge Prats Field was the last one at home for Prairie Fire senior George Abariotis (Park Ridge, Illinois) and was played during Homecoming on the Knox College campus.
