NUMBER 2 SEED
The wind died down the but chill in the night air was still there as the men's soccer team took to the field for the regular season finale. For the scoring it took a while for the Norse to get on the board but in the 23rd minute that changed. Will Overberg (Ankeny, Iowa/Ankeny Centennial) sent it towards Luis Figueroa (San Juan, Puerto Rico/High Mowing School) in the box to give the Norse the one goal lead and the game winner. And not long after that it was Ben Bolte (Pasadena, Calif./Loyola) was there to clean up a poor clearance by the Kohawks for the game's second goal in the 37th minute. Then a minute later Joao Curvo (Cuiaba, Brazil/Monteverde Academy (FL) deflected it off his foot as Luiz Oliviera (Salvador, Brazil/Montverde Academy (FL) did a thrilling half bicycle kick for a goal in the 38th minute. The Norse took a 3-0 lead headed into the break.
 
In the second half Marcos Vila netted two goals in a span of 53 seconds with one unassisted and one assisted by Will Overberg (Ankeny, Iowa/Ankeny Centennial). Junior goalkeeper Kai Haroldson (Excelsior, Minn./Minnetonka) had two fantastic saves in the second half to keep the Kohawks off the score sheet. With the results around the league tonight the Norse finish the regular season as the number 2 seed for the upcoming conference tournament. Luther stands at 10-3-5 overall and 4-0-4 in conference play.
