Milligan College, Tenn. (Sept. 8, 2012) --- The Milligan College men's soccer team picked up a thrilling 2-1 victory when Chris Ochieng (Nairobi, Kenya) scored in the closing stages of the game to lift the Buffaloes past former AAC foe King College on a rainy Saturday evening at Anglin Field.

However, Nahom Tekle (Louisville, Ky.) found Ochieng in the box, and Ochieng scored on a header in the 73^rd minute to put the Buffaloes ahead. In the final 15 minutes, the Milligan defense kept the Tornado at bay to preserve the victory.
