WINONA, Minn. -- The Ripon College men's soccer team bounced back in a dominant fashion, earning a 4-1 road victory over Saint Mary's University (Minn.) to secure their first win of the season.

The Red Hawks wasted no time setting the tone, when Senior Andre Robertson (O'Fallon, Ill., O'Fallon Township HS) found the back of the net to give Ripon the early lead. However, the Cardinals responded just before halftime, scoring in the 42nd minute to send the teams into the break tied 1-1.

After the half, the Red Hawks took control. Sophomore Seth Schroeder (Iron Ridge, Wis., Winnebago Lutheran Academy) broke the tie with a goal early in the second half, with an assist from Connor Handrick (De Pere, Wis., Notre Dame Academy). Senior Finley Manning (St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada, Holy Heart of Mary HS) followed with another goal, extending the lead to 3-1 with a well-placed shot.

Freshman Dylan Alfaro (Chula Vista, Cali., Otay Ranch HS) put the finishing touches on the victory with a late goal, securing the 4-1 win for Ripon.

The Red Hawks men's soccer team will return to action on Saturday, Sept 6, when they host Rockford University. The Regents enter the contest 1-1, coming off a 1-2 loss to Elmhurst University.
