Two early goals enough to put out men's soccer in MAC opener

DeKALB — Comeback wins are difficult, and that proved to be the case Tuesday when the Huskies conceded two goals eight minutes into the match against the Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville Cougars. The Huskies opened Mid-American Conference play with a tough 2-1 loss Saturday at the Soccer and Track and Field Complex.

“This is a game that we should have won, [but] we got off to a poor start [in] the first 15 to 20 minutes,” Head Coach Ryan Swan said. “Our decision-making on the ball was bad. The two goals we gave up were very disappointing.
