Beavers fall to #11 ranked Cloud

Pratt Community College’s Men’s Soccer season came to a screeching halt Tues., Oct. 25, with a 3-0 loss to #11 ranked Cloud County Community College. The Beavers played a tough first half against the strong wind, but both teams had chances to score.
 
Charlie Samsushonga rescued the Beavers with some fine goalkeeping, but the half ended 0-0. In the second half, and with the Beavers playing with the wind at their backs, Pratt looked to pressure Cloud. However, Cloud got the vital breakthrough after 70 minutes, with a goal from close range to take the 1-0 lead. The Beavers pushed forward looking for the equalizer, and were made to pay as Cloud scored two goals in the final five minutes to end the contest 3-0.
 
Coach Kevin Kewley said this was a fantastic display from the Pratt CC soccer team, and they can really be proud of the way the have preformed this season.
