Men's soccer defeats Blackburn 1-0 to improve to 2-0 in conference

Elsah, IL. -- Principia Men's Soccer hosted Blackburn College in their second conference game of the season on Tuesday evening. The Panthers looked to continue on the right foot after a road win at Spalding University. The Blackburn Beavers looked to get their first win in conference after falling to Westminster College this past Saturday. Both teams came into the game ready to get a win.

Principia dominated the game early and created many offensive chances within the first minutes of the game. Once again George Agai's dynamic dribbling created a goal as he beat two defenders and slotted the ball to Kaleb Keller who was able to finish near post. This proved to be the determining goal for the match as both teams could not find the net on limited offensive opportunities.

The Panthers improve to 2-0 in the SLIAC and welcome another tough test at home Saturday versus Greenville.
 
Good to Know:
Kaleb Keller is off to a terrific start and continues his dominant offensive play as his goal today gives him 8 goals on the season. He has scored one goal a piece in each of the first two conference games and proves to be a force to be reckoned with even as a freshman.
 
They said it:
"Today was a hard fought and choppy game but we were able to walk away with the victory. Moving forward we have a lot to work on, as we head into our 3^rd conference game. We have another great opportunity to keep progressing at home Saturday versus a tough opponent."
