COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. – Saint John's fell to Wisconsin-Superior by a 2-1 score in non-conference play Tuesday, Oct. 8, at Haws Field in Collegeville.

Superior (7-4-2, 1-0-1 WIAC) gained a 1-0 lead with 1:13 remaining in the first half off a corner kick and later took advantage of a shot off the hands of SJU senior goalkeeper Ryan Brutger (St. Cloud, Minn./Apollo) to gain a 2-0 lead in the 57th minute (56:27).

Senior Michael Coborn (St. Cloud, Minn./Cathedral) cut the Johnnies' deficit to 2-1 with a corner kick that evaded the traffic in front and curved inside the far post in the 63rd minute (62:17). The goal is the 25th of Coborn's career, good for fifth in school history. He is now six points behind Tyler Bosch (2001-04) for fourth on the Johnnies' all-time points list with 80 (25g/30a).

Brutger made nine saves in the loss for SJU (4-6-2, 2-2-1 MIAC). Shots were even at 21 apiece, though the Yellowjackets held a slight 11-9 advantage on goal.

Senior Matt Carson (Waconia, Minn.) nearly gave SJU an early 1-0 lead but his shot rattled off the crossbar 13 minutes into the match.

The Johnnies return to conference play with an 11 a.m. match Saturday, Oct. 12, against Bethel at Haws Field in Collegeville.
