NEW ULM, Minn. - The Martin Luther College men's soccer team lost a non-conference game in the rain to Augsburg by the score of 4-0 on Monday.

The game started early with the hopes of avoiding storms forecast in the area during the late afternoon/evening hours, and while the rain came for stretches of the game, the teams were able to avoid the heavier storms on the radar.

The Auggies jumped on top in the 30th minute on a goal from Abdullah Alshayba, and then added a second goal right before the half to take a 2-0 lead into the break.

Augsburg put the game away early in the second stanza, scoring just 78 seconds into the period to take a 3-0 lead, and added one last goal in the 69th minute.

Caleb King started in goal for MLC and stopped five of eight Auggie shots on goal. Ethan Schultz and Jonah Kroll each finished with one shot on goal.

The Knights fell to 9-6-1 on the season following the loss, while Augsburg improved to 5-9-1 with the win.

MLC will return to action on Thursday, October 20, when it travels to Presentation for a game scheduled to start at 3 p.m.
