Men's Soccer Rallies Past UIS for 3-2 Road Victory

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Missouri S&T men's soccer picked up a key road win Sunday afternoon, defeating Illinois Springfield 3-2 in Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) play at Kiwanis Stadium.

The Miners (5-3-1, 3-3 GLVC) used a balanced attack and a second-half surge to earn their third conference victory of the season. After falling behind 1-0 in the 14th minute, Luke Giesing (St. Louis, MO/Lindbergh) leveled the match in the 31st minute, finishing off a feed from Brendan Owens (St. Louis, MO/Fort Zumwalt South) to make it 1-1.

The teams traded goals late in the first half, with Mike Banasik (Loekkegade, Denmark/Hjoering Gymnasium) netting his third goal of the season in the 45th minute off a cross from Jake Salazar-Blair (Phoenix, AZ/Desert Vista), sending the Miners into halftime tied 2-2.

S&T carried that momentum into the second half, taking the lead for good in the 52nd minute when Salazar-Blair found the back of the net, assisted by Luiz Bernis (Belo Horizonte, Brazil/Colegio Santo Antonio). From there, the Miners' defense locked down, holding the Prairie Stars to just three second-half shots.

Cavitt Bruhn (Plano, TX/Plano) made four saves in goal, while the back line, led by Joseph Sommer (Edwardsville, IL/Edwardsville), Nathan Weyrauch (Lee's Summit, MO/Lee's Summit), and Caiden Harris (St. Louis, MO/St. Louis University High), kept pressure off down the stretch. Offensively, the Miners outshot UIS 19-7 and finished with a 7-4 advantage in corner kicks.

With the win, Missouri S&T improves to 5-3-1 overall and 3-3 in GLVC play.

What's Next
The Miners return home Friday, October 10, and Sunday, October 12, to face UIndy and Lewis at Allgood-Bailey Stadium.
