Ravens Battle Past Yellow Jackets

The Anderson University men's soccer team (5-6-2, 2-3) battled past Defiance College (1-9-5, 0-4-1) with a 2-1 victory during Wednesday's Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) matchup at Fridley Field.

Defiance found the scoreboard in the seventh minute when Jeremy Fuller capitalized off passes from Noah Paxton and Will Gelhausen for a goal.

After falling in a 1-0 deficit, Stephen Fite even the score by producing a goal in the 13th minute assisted by Jordan Bossman.

The Ravens went up 2-1 when Usman Kamara netted a goal assisted by Fite.

"I thought Stephen Fite was great; thank goodness he came to play," Coach Scott Fridley said. "[Wednesday] was not our best effort, but any winning day in the HCAC is a good day. Three points are three points. I'm proud of the boys to come back from the deficit, but unfortunately, that has been a normalcy this season. We need to clean this up if we are going to keep this win streak going."
