The University of Wisconsin-Superior Yellow Jacket men’s soccer team has won two of their last three games and has clinched at least a 500 record on the season.

However, on October 24, UW-Superior was defeated at home 3 to 2 by UW-Whitewater. Tyler Houghton and Matt Nilsen scored the goals for the Jackets. With this loss they end WIAC play with a 1-3 mark on the season.

Next up was a trip to take on Carleton College on October 26. The Yellow Jackets were victorious in this one by a 1 to 0 margin. Tyler Houghton played the role of the hero for UW-Superior as he scored the only goal of the game.
