FOND DU LAC, Wis. - The Rockford University men's soccer team (7-8-2, 2-5-1 NACC) took on the Marian University Sabres (4-7-2, 2-5-1 NACC) on the road on Saturday afternoon. The field conditions were not ideal as players on both sides constantly lost their footing due to the muddy ground.

• It would not be until the 86:27 mark that Saeed Alqahtani (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) would tie up the game for Rockford and help send it to overtime.
