The Carthage College Red Men (12-6-2, 5-2-1 College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin) honored their seniors in dominating fashion, as the Red Men defeated the Augustana Vikings 3-0 at Art Keller Field on Senior Night.
The two teams were scoreless in the first half with both teams having scoring opportunities with no conversions. The second half was a turnaround, however, as Nick Messino scored his first career goal as a header off a corner kick by Jamie Tausend in the 51st minute.
Tausend would later record his own goal in the 73rd minute off a penalty kick following a call made by the referee for Augie defense dragging Kevin Reilly inside the box.
The Red Men would put the finishing touches on scoring with a goal by Jorge Triana which came off a cross pass from Luke Schoffstall in the 76th minute.
Niko Mavrogiannis earned the start for the Red Men, collecting two saves overall. Those two saves has now solidified his status as seventh on the Red Men Career Saves List.
Seeding for next week's CCIW Championship Tournament have been finalized, as the Red Men will be traveling to Illinois Wesleyan University on Wednesday, November 1 2017 for a 7 pm match.
