Five minutes into the second half, a corner kick from

Caiden Harris (St. Louis, MO/St. Louis University High). He gave it to
Caden Archer (St. Louis, MO/Vianney) who gave S&T a 2-0 lead. It was Archer's first goal of the season.
Luke Giesing (St. Louis, MO/Lindbergh) and
Daylan Frerker (Collinsvillle, IL/Collinsville) were both saved by goalkeeper Marco Iniguez later in the half.
The Miners got back in the win column with a 2-0 win against Southwest Baptist.
