Box Score
Host Western Illinois University rallied back from a 1-0 deficit, downing the Bowling Green State University men's soccer team by a 2-1 final on Saturday afternoon (Sept. 10). The non-conference match was held at WIU's practice field after being moved from the Leathernecks' normal home field due to adverse conditions.

Joe Sullivan scored the lone goal for the Falcons, who lost for the first time in five matches this season.
"Full credit goes to Western Illinois," said BGSU head coach
Eric Nichols. "They fully deserved what they got today. They fought hard, they played hard and they deserved to win.
"This game confirmed what we already knew about our team. When we are dialed into our formula, we can beat anyone. But, when we veer from that formula, or we don't execute our formula, we can lose to anyone, and that's what happened today."
The Falcons will look to bounce back on Tuesday night (Sept. 13), when BG hosts Wright State University. That match, the latest installment in the teams' battle for the I-75 Cup, will begin at 7:00 p.m. at Cochrane Stadium, and admission is free.
