MARQUES SCORES IN 2-1 LOSS FOR WARRIORS

Spencer, IA – Sophomore Pablo Marques (João Pessoa, Brazil/Colégio Meta) scored his team-leading 11th goal of the season, but the Indian Hills Men's Soccer team suffered a 2-1 defeat to the No. 3 team in the nation, Iowa Lakes Community College. The Warriors fall to 5-8-2 overall and 0-5-1 in Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) play.

After a scoreless first half form both sides, Iowa Lakes jumped ahead with a goal in the 59th minute. The Lakers added a second goal in the 71st minute to put the pressure on the Warriors. With time winding down, Marques received a pass from Ronaldo Carvalho (Longwood, FL/Carlucci Internacional) on the left side and beat the keeper for the score. The Warriors kept the ball in their offensive zone for a majority of the final two minutes, but failed to net the equalizer.

Matteo Scarduzio (San Seconda Parmense, Italy/Fabio Bocchialini) stopped seven shots in net for Indian Hills.

The Warriors have not lost a match by more than two goals the entire season, including the last two contests which saw Indian Hills fall by just one goal, both against nationally ranked opponents.

Marques now ranks second in the ICCAC in both goals and points (27).

Indian Hills will travel to No. 2 Iowa Western Community College for a 3:00 PM conference matchup on Oct. 13.
