KENOSHA, Wisconsin—The Prairie men's soccer team dropped a non-conference matchup against Alma on Saturday.
Knox struck first when Adetayo Adefioye found the back of the net in the fourth minute. Jun Min found Nick Janulis for another goal in the 10
th minute to give the Prairie Fire an early 2-0 lead. Alma responded with a goal at 26:24 to send the game into halftime with Knox maintaining a 2-1 lead. The Scots tied the game up at the 73:57 mark and quickly took the lead with another goal in the 85
th minute. Alma held on for the 3-2 victory.
Knox outshot the Scots 21-11, including an 8-3 advantage in shots on goal.
"It was definitely a learning experience for us," said head coach Brian O'Connor. "We started fast, but could not maintain our form. We lost focus a little bit and credit to Alma, they never stopped coming. We will learn from this and hopefully it will be just the catalyst we need to get us back on track."
The Prairie Fire head to Danville, Kentucky on September 13 and 14 to compete in the Bob Allen Nissan Classic.
