Morris, Minn.- The Minnesota Morris Cougars started the 2017 campaign playing host to the Carleton College Knights, and lost a close game 1-0.

The only score of a rainy, overcast day came just 5:32 in the first half off an odd play that bounced right to a Knight and he found the back of the net. The Cougars defense played well in only allowing the Knights six shots on goal.

The Cougars Cody Christ had a solid game in net making five saves on the afternoon.

The Cougars are back in action at home on Sunday as they host Augsburg College at 1pm.
