Box Score

KENOSHA, Wis. - Lewis appeared to be well on its way to victory in Sunday's Great Lakes Valley Conference men's soccer game against archrival Wisconsin-Parkside, but the host Rangers scored three second-half goals and beat the Flyers 3-2.

Lewis, ranked No. 2 nationally and No. 1 in the Great Lakes Region in NCAA Division II, slipped to 10-1-1 overall and 3-1-1 in the GLVC. Wisconsin-Parkside, No. 20 in the nation and No. 3 in the region, improved to 8-2-1 and 3-1-1.

Cathal Brady put the Flyers on top early with his third goal of the season (unassisted) at 5:50. Anthony Marsico scored his team-leading sixth goal of the year (Brady assist) at 34:41, and Lewis carried a 2-0 lead into halftime.

Wisconsin-Parkside began its comeback early in the second half with an unassisted goal by Alen Osmanovic at 49:30. Bill Haga's goal (Ethan Richter assist) at 54:31 pulled the Rangers even, and Sher Yang (Richter assist) tallied the game-winner at 71:08.

Flyer goalkeeper Jordan Gustman made five saves and Parkside netminder Victor Perez registered four saves.

Lewis travels to Quincy Friday and hosts 12th-ranked Southern Illinois Edwardsville, the GLVC leader, Sunday.
