HUNTINGDON, Pa. – The men's soccer team got outscored by Swarthmore 4-2 on Saturday afternoon at Gibbel Stadium. 

The Eagles trailed by one shot in the first half, 5-4, but Swarthmore was able to put two in the net. The Garnet was held off until the 24^th minute when the first goal was scored against JC. Wasting no time, Swarthmore made the score 2-0 in the 27^th minute, and the Eagles could not tear past their defense. 

Gavin Rauhut had enough in the 48^th minute and volleyed the ball off his right boot from a free kick from Victor Vandenbroek, edging the score to 2-1. Not finished yet, Rauhut headed the ball into the net off a corner kick from Amo Mashigo to tie the game at twos in the 53^rd minute.
