After a big come-from-behind win at home on Saturday against UW-River Falls, the Blugolds (7-8-3) were shutout for the seventh time this season. Saint Benedict (12-2-1) scored in the 34th minute and that was all they would need.

They will host a first-round game against an opponent to be determined on Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. at Bollinger Field. The complete tournament field will be announced next weekend and details will be available on the Blugold website.
