St. Cloud State Edges SJU, 2-1


Box Score

COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. – Saint John's and Division II St. Cloud State played an evenly matched game, the first in the crosstown rivals' history, but the Huskies pulled out a 2-1 win on Wednesday, Sept. 8, at Haws Field.

Junior forward Ryan Erickson (Inver Grove Heights, Minn./Eagan) gave SJU (2-2-0 overall) an early 1-0 lead with his second goal of the season in the 13th minute. Junior midfielder Sawyer Schugel (Victoria, Minn./Holy Family Catholic) flicked a contested ball past the SCSU goalkeeper and Erickson finished to a wide-open net.

SCSU (1-1-1 overall), however, tied the game 53 seconds later on a goal from Emmanuel Iwe.

A set piece in the 35th minute proved to be the difference, as a Ouceny Soumah-to-Jakob Mohrlok corner kick proved as the game-winning goal.

SJU held statistical advantages in shots (14-12), shots on goal (9-8) and corner kicks (6-5).

Freshman Evan Siefken (Lakeville, Minn./North) made six saves in the loss.

The Johnnies continue non-conference play with a 2 p.m. game at Wisconsin-Whitewater this Saturday, Sept. 11.
