ELMHURST, Ill. - The Elmhurst men's soccer team outshot Benedictine 16-4, but the Bluejays' found themselves on the wrong end of a 2-1 final score. 

Benedictine (3-2) scored first off a deep free kick from Santiago Beltran that was headed by Erik Stammer and then knocked home by Lukasz Sulka. The goal in the 16th minute gave the Eagles a quick 1-0 lead.

Elmhurst pulled even less than seven minutes later. Benedictine was whistled for a foul in the box and Keegan Thompson connected on the ensuing penalty kick to pull the Bluejays level at 1-1. 

A red card to Benedictine late in the first half, gave the Bluejays a man advantage for the entire second half, but Elmhurst could not capitalize, despite outshooting Benedictine 10-2 in the half. The Eagles took advantage of an Elmhurst foul to score the game-winner in the 60th minute. Beltran sent a free kick through the box to Hayden Van Son. Van Son headed the ball to the far post and in the net to give the Eagles the go-ahead goal.
