Slow start dooms Muskies in 4-0 loss at UW-Whitewater


Athletics - posted on 9/6/2008

The Lakeland men's soccer team surrendered two goals just over 15 minutes into the game en route to a 4-0 non-conference loss Saturday to UW-Whitewater at Fiskum Field in Whitewater.

The Muskies played a much better second half, but were in too much of a hole to make a serious push.

"We got off to a flat start in the first half," Lakeland head coach David Madsen said. "We were able to sustain some pressure in the second half. If we had gotten off to a quicker start, that would have been a much different game."

Freshman goalkeeper Matt Durbin (Itasca, Ill.) had eight saves for the Muskies (0-2). UW-Whitewater moves to 2-0-1 on the season.

Lakeland will travel to Concordia University Chicago next Saturday (Sept. 13) for its first Northern Athletic Conference match of the season.
