Rio Ends Men's Soccer Cinderella Run, 3-0
Box
Score
Rio
Grande,
OH –
The Houghton Highlanders post season run was cut short by
NAIA #2 Rio Grande University today, 3-0. The Highlanders played a brilliant
first half allowing only one goal.
Fr. Steve Ross
(Auburn, NY) had two great attempts to level the score before the end of
the first half.
Rio then assumed control of the match in the
second half scoring their second goal off a cross into the keepers box and being
finished on the back post. The third goal which sealed the victory for the
Redmen was scored by AMC South Division All First Team, Guy Heywood.
The Highlanders will finish the season 6-10-3
overall. This is the first trip for Coach Webb to the Region IX Final Four since
taking over the program in 2004.
Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
