ARDEN HILLS, Minn. — The St. Scholastica men's soccer team fell in a close contest against one of its conference rivals, the Bethel Royals today. The game sat at 0-0 for most of the match, but Bethel scored two late goals to take a 2-0 victory over the Saints today. 

How it Happened
In the first half, the Saints' defense showed up big time as Ben Hallberg (Princeton, Minn./Princeton HS) was able to record six saves in the first half, as the score remained at 0-0 heading into halftime.
