Game Notes
Today's game is the first-ever meeting between the Cardinals and the Red Hawks. … The Cardinals got second-half goals from Mike Schmitt (Woodridge, Ill.) and Joey Manley (Racine, Wis.), but it was not quite enough, as SMU dropped its second straight decision, falling to Carthage 3-2 Friday evening. … Ripon, meanwhile, saw its season-opening losing streak climb to three straight as Macalester got the game’s only goal five minutes into overtime en route to a 1-0 victory Friday.
