MIDLAND, Michigan -- The Lake Erie men's soccer team traveled to Midland, Michigan today for a Great Midwest matchup against the Northwood University Timberwolves.

Game Recap

Much like their previous contest, the Storm got off to a slow start. They managed only three shots in the first half but luckily the Timberwolves also struggled and got off three shots themselves.

In the second half, Lake Erie came out looking much better. In the 58th minute, Gabriele Argint found Cal Babiash who put one in the lower right hand corner to tie the game at one.

The game would remain tied for a large majority of the half and when it was starting to look like the Storm may earn a school-record fifth tie on the season, Glory Hser took a shot which was saved by the Northwood goalkeeper but came back to Hser who put it in for the game winning goal in the 87th minute. 

In the half, Lake Erie out shot Northwood 13-5 with five shots on goal. 

Hser, Babiash, and Veljko Radovanovic led the team with three shots a piece. All of Babiash's would be shot on goal.
