Lakeland was shooting for its second straight win following a 2-0 win at Iowa Wesleyan last Tuesday that was the first win as Muskies coach for

Maranatha Baptist enters with a 1-4 record and most recently was defeated by Greenville (Ill.) 3-0 on Saturday. The visiting Panthers scored an early goal in the 13th minute and then two more goals in the second half. Randal Larson made seven saves in goal for MBU.
