<\/p>\n ST. PAUL, Minn. \u2013 Stifling defense and a trio of goals scored by three different players lifted the Macalester College men’s soccer team to a 3-0 victory over Carleton College in a MIAC match Saturday afternoon at John Leaney Field at Macalester Stadium. The win evens the conference record for the Scots (6-3) at 1-1, while the Knights fall to 5-3 overall and 1-2 in MIAC play.<\/p>\n Just under 10 minutes into the first half, junior forward Zach Liptzin<\/a> (Denver, Colo.\/Northfield) dribbled in on the left side and hit a shot from a sharp angle that was saved by Carleton goalkeeper Leo Kugel but not held. Junior forward Chris Frantz<\/a> (Maple Grove, Minn.\/Maple Grove) pounced on the rebound and shot the ball high over Kugel and into the goal for a 1-0 lead. It was Frantz’ team-leading third goal of the season and the 15th of his career.<\/p>\n The score remained 1-0 Scots into the second half, as Macalester limited the Knights’ scoring opportunities. In the 59th minute, sophomore midfielder Jonathan Kim<\/a> (San Diego, Calif.\/Torrey Pines) received the ball near the left sideline, dribbled into the penalty area and unleashed a shot from 12 yards out into the upper right corner of the goal for a 2-0 Scots lead. In the 78th minute, junior midfielder Kasdan Blattman<\/a> (San Jose, Calif.\/Bellarmine) sent a long pass in the air to first year midfielder Gaven Johnson<\/a> (Harrison, Ohio\/William Henry Harrison), who chested the ball down, took a touch and placed a shot into the upper left corner of the goal with the outside of his foot. \u00a0<\/p>\n The Macalester defense limited Carleton to just three shots on goal, with first year goalkeeper Justin Ratner<\/a> (Dallas, Texas\/Highland Park) making all three saves. Ratner played the first 80 minutes, with junior PJ Pozniak<\/a> (Phoenixville, Pa.\/Spring-Ford) playing the final 10 minutes in goal. Both teams took 11 shots, with Kugel recording five saves.<\/p>\n The Scots take on Saint Mary’s University on Tuesday, Sept. 30 in another MIAC match. The game is set to start at 7:30 p.m. in Winona, Minn.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
