The Muskies scored just before half as junior forward Lindsay Rogers (Sheboygan, Wis.) found the back of the Crusaders net in the 39th minute.

Despite a solid second-half effort, Maranatha was able to hold off Lakeland for the NAC win.

"We had a lot of opportunities to tie the game in the second half," said head coach Tony Pierce. "We just couldn't finish."
