GALESBURG, Illinois – A goal in overtime sealed a thrilling 2-1 victory by the Prairie Fire over Concordia University (WI) on Sunday at Jorge Prats Field.

The win was the third straight for Knox (4-2), which trailed for nearly 80 minutes before sophomore Terence Lau (Shanghai, China, Shanghai American School) slipped a rebound shot past the CU goalie to force a 1-1 tie.

The Prairie Fire (4-2) came out on top in the physical match when junior Nathaniel Logie (Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Queens Royal College) scored off a corner kick on the right side from sophomore Andy Van Buskirk (Overland Park, KS, Rockhurst).

The Falcons (2-5) got on the board first on an own goal by Knox 28:22 into the match.
