Lakeland men's soccer hosts Maranatha for home opener

After basking in the positive vibes of a win for nearly a week, the Lakeland University men's soccer team is back on the field to make its debut this season at Taylor Field when it hosts Maranatha Baptist University Saturday night at 6 p.m.

The Muskies have been idle since getting their first win of the season on Monday, defeating Finlandia (Mich.) University 1-0. Hunter Gorges (Fr.-New London, Wis.) scored the lone goal and Austin Edge (Sr.-Howards Grove, Wis.) and Tyson Carter (Fr.-Yakima, Wash.) combined on the shutout as Lakeland snapped a 19-match losing streak. The win also was the first under first-year head coach Rick Mobley.

Maranatha Baptist enters with a 0-3 record after a 2-1 loss to North Central (Minn.) University on Thursday. The Sabercats have been close in all three outings, with three consecutive one-goal losses to start the season.

Maranatha won last year's meeting between the teams, taking a 4-1 decision in Watertown on Sept. 12, 2017. John Bentler (Jr.-Seattle, Wash.) scored the lone Muskies goal, while Nathan Akers scored twice for the Sabercats.
