Box Score

MOORHEAD, Minn. – Saint John's soccer posted a 3-0 shutout of Concordia on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Sophomore defender McKaid Schotzko (Rochester, Minn./Lourdes) scored what proved to be the game-winning goal in the 18th minute for SJU (4-5-1, 2-3-1 MIAC). The Cobber goalkeeper punched a free kick from freshman defender Brendan Hainey (Minneapolis, Minn./Holy Angels) to the left of the box where it found an open Schotzko for his first goal of the season and third of his collegiate career.

Junior forward Carter Hermanson (St. Paul, Minn./Holy Angels) then made it 2-0 with his second goal of the season and fifth of his career in the 40th minute. Hainey ripped a shot close to his free kick in the 18th minute that hit off the out-stretched hand of the keeper, off the crossbar and into the air where Hermanson played a header to the back of the net.

Junior forward Riley Buxell (Afton, Minn./Stillwater Area) led freshman forward Ronan O'Connor (Woodbury, Minn./Hill-Murray) with a pretty pass into the box to end the game's scoring in the 68th minute. The goal was O'Connor's team-leading fourth of the season.

Senior goalkeeper Evan Siefken (Lakeville, Minn./North) four saves for his third shutout of the season and 16th of his career.
