Northeast men’s soccer falls on the road to Southeastern

WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa – The Northeast Community College men's soccer team had a tough time keeping up with Southeastern Community College on Saturday, falling 6-1 in ICCAC play in West Burlington, Iowa.

The Hawks (3-5, 3-5 ICCAC) trailed 2-0 at halftime and eventually only by a goal after Samuel Holland (London, England) scored a goal early in the second half. However, the home team kept on adding goals throughout the second half that kept the Hawks searching for momentum. Jyson Breitbarth (Hilo, Hawaii) recorded eight saves in the net.

"This game got away from us in the second half," head coach Chad Miller said. "Early in the second half, we got the score to 2-1 from Sam's goal. Southeastern picked up their third goal about 10 minutes later. Then, late in the second half, in about a 10-minute span, we had some breakdowns that gave them three more goals. It was a well-played game, but we did not finish it as well as we should have."

The Hawks entertain Hawkeye Community College for a 1 p.m. match on Tuesday at Memorial Field in Norfolk.
