ARDEN HILLS, Minn. – The Bethel men's soccer team secured their second MIAC win of the season and snapped an eight-match winless streak defeating Concordia College, 2-1, in their final home game of the season. The Royals move to 2-4-3 in the conference and 4-6-4 overall.
How It Happened

Nathan Hunt who finished it to make it 2-1 Royals.
