RIPON, Wis. - Ripon's men's soccer team allowed five second half goals Saturday afternoon, which played a big role in their 6-0 loss to Illinois Tech. The Red Hawks were also out-shot by the Scarlet Hawks by a 24-6 margin.

Illinois Tech (2-2-0) wasted no time getting on the board, as Michael Kaczowka notched his fifth goal of the season just four minutes into the contest to break a scoreless tie.

Neither team would score again until the second half when Illinois Tech recorded two goals in a one and a half minute span. The Scarlet Hawks scored again in the 72nd minute, and twice more in the next 10 minutes to give them five goals in the half.

Ripon Goal Keeper Kenny Smith made 11 saves in his 90 minutes of work, while Alex Kern recorded one save, as he preserved the shutout in his 90 minutes of work.

The Red Hawks (0-5-0) will be in action again Tuesday when they'll travel to Edgewood College. That game will begin at 5 p.m. in Madison, Wis., and can be seen live at https://edgewoodcollegeeagles.com/watch/?Live=178&type=Live.
