The Behrend men's soccer team slipped past Geneseo, 1-0 in the consolation game of the Herb Lauffer Memorial Soccer Tournament on Sunday afternoon on the Behrend Fields.

With the win Behrend evens its mark at 1-1, while Geneseo remains winless at 0-2 on the season.

At the 16:41 mark of the first half, Behrend made a sideline throw-in that bounced off a Geneseo player and worked its way into the net for the only goal of the game.

Geneseo outshot the blue and white 15-7, but Behrend goalkeeper Dustin Walker (Apollo/Kiski Area) played an excellent game in between the pipes. The junior registered twelve saves on the day.

The Herb Lauffer Memorial Soccer Tournament championship game featured a 2-1 victory for Baldwin-Wallace (2-0) over Utica (1-1).
