Grinnell men's soccer team drops road contest to MWC favorite

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. - Grinnell College's men's soccer team battled preseason Midwest Conference favorite Illinois College on even terms statistically, but the Blueboys emerged with a 3-1 victory Saturday.

Grinnell, which was only outshot 8-7, spotted the hosts a 1-0 halftime lead and fell behind 2-0 before Demi Oni '27 broke through for a goal in the 72nd minute. It was his second goal of the season and in his career. Zak Serby '25 and Jimmy Miseda '26 provided the assists. 

However, Illinois College tacked on an insurance goal six minutes later to secure the victory.

Serby had three shots for the Pioneers, who are 1-1-2 in the MWC and 3-4-5 in all matches. Dylan Maddux '25, Anthony Hong '27, Jaxon Willoughby '26 and Oni all provided one shot. Jayson Kunkel '26 made one save at the keeper spot.

Illinois College remained perfect in MWC play with the win at 3-0 while improving to 9-3-1 in all contests.

Grinnell steps out of MWC play next Saturday with a contest at Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill. Kickoff is 3:30 p.m.
