Milligan College, Tenn. (Sept. 25, 2012) --- The Milligan College men's soccer team answered a late Mid-Continent University goal to pick up their fifth straight win with a 2-1 victory over the Cougars on Tuesday night in nonconference action at Anglin Field.
 
   The opening half was an even battle as neither team could capitalize on chances. Milligan saw shots by Nimely Robertson (Liberia), Jonathon Colson (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Aaron Hoffman (High Point, N.C.) go wide, while Dan Ball (Chatham, England) and the Buffaloes defense kept the Cougars off the scoreboard. After Milligan saw a shot by Rusty Baxter (Knoxville, Tenn.) saved in the final minutes, both teams went to the locker room scoreless at the break.
 
   The Buffaloes struck first in the second half as Robertson scored off of an assist from Nahom Tekle (Ethopia). Jonathon Alvarado evened the score in the 76^th minute for the Cougars, but Milligan quickly responded as Robertson beat the Mid-Continent keep to score his second goal of the game in the 77^th minute.
 
   Defensively, Ball recorded three saves in the net for Milligan.
 
   With the win, Milligan improves to 7-3 overall and remain 4-0 in AAC action.
 
   The Buffaloes return to action on Saturday, Sept. 29, as they host AAC foe Union College. Match time at Anglin Field is slated for 7 p.m.
