Northeast men come up short in Mason City

MASON CITY, Iowa – The Northeast Community College men's soccer team couldn't find any answers on the offensive end of an ICCAC match on Monday.

The Hawks (2-12-1, 0-7-1 ICCAC) ultimately fell to North Iowa Area Community College, 3-0 in Mason City, Iowa.

"The second half of this game was the best we have played all year," head coach Chad Miller said. The guys were having fun and playing really good soccer. Almost all of our shots came in the second half of the match. With that said, we couldn't buy a goal. We had so many great chances that were either missed or their goalie made great saves. We even had one goal take back. It was great to see these guys play well."

NIACC out-shot the Hawks, 19-12. Ivan Castillo-Garcia (Broomfield, Colo.) had five saves in the loss.

The Hawks continue conference action at 3 p.m. Saturday against Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa.
