Cougars lock up playoff bid with win at MLC

NEW ULM, Minn. - The Minnesota Morris men's soccer team sewed up a berth in the UMAC Postseason Tournament Tuesday with a 4-2 win at Martin Luther in UMAC action. The Cougars missed out on postseason play a year ago.

UMM sits in a tie for third place with Northwestern at 19 points (Northwestern owns tiebreaker) and are three points behind UW-Superior for second. Top three teams earn byes into UMAC semifinals with Nos. 4 and 5 seeds meeting in the first round.

The Cougars needed a comeback effort to top the Knights Tuesday. MLC scored two early goals, but UMM countered with four straight to gain the win.

Hugo Castaneda started the Cougars' rally with his first collegiate goal in the 23rd minute. Luqman Barre tied the game with a header. Konrad Laack gave the Cougars the lead before halftime with a goal in the 38th minute.

Jake Alessio added an insurance goal with his first collegiate score in the 56th minute.

Cody Christ made three saves in net for the Cougars.

Minnesota Morris (8-7-1, 6-3-1 in UMAC) returns home to face Northland Saturday at 3:15 p.m. at the Cougar Soccer Field.
