Box Score Minneapolis, MN - The Men's Soccer team was able to come out with the win versus the Finlandia Lions on Wednesday (9/14) afternoon. It was a tough-fought game that was decided with a few clutch goals for the Rams.

The Lions were able to find their way into the scoring column first with a goal coming in the fourteenth minute, putting them up 1-0. The Rams continued to fight when right before the end of the first half, Alex Chacich was able to fire one home in the 42nd minute to tie the game at one a piece.
