WATERTOWN, Wis. - Ripon allowed two Maranatha Baptist goals in the first 13 minutes of Thursday's game and could never fully recover. Maranatha Baptist outshot the Red Hawks 20-8 on the day.

The Crusaders (1-0) got on the board first on a Timothy Rogers goal in the 12th minute, with the assist going to Wira Wama. One minute later, they doubled their lead on an unassisted goal from Phil Taylor. Ripon (0-3) would cut that lead in half in the 38th minute when Perry Poulos found Calvin Manuel for Ripon's first goal of the game.

Brian Lindquist gave Maranatha Baptist a 3-1 lead in the 68th minute. Ripon pulled within a single goal with four and a half minutes remaining in the second half when Josh Luna assisted on a Spencer Reisbick goal, but that was as close as Ripon would get the rest of the afternoon.
