Men's Soccer Wins Badger Fall Classic

MOBILE, Ala. -- Four different players scored for the Rams including two goals from senior Mike Fricke as the University of Mobile rolled to a 5-1 win Saturday afternoon over North Georgia University.

With the win on Saturday, the Rams won the Badger Fall Classic held at Spring Hill College. Mobile defeated St. Thomas University 6-1 on Friday and then North Georgia 5-1 on Saturday.  Spring Hill defeated North Georgia 7-0 on Friday night and lost to St. Thomas 6-4 on Saturday afternoon. 

The Rams got things going early on with a goal off a corner kick from Kevin Laux.  Laux, who had two assists in the game, sent the corner kick to the far post where Jamie Ferguson out-leaped the North Georgia goalkeeper and headed in his third goal of the season giving UM a 1-0 lead. 

Twelve minutes later, Dean Logan pushed the lead to 2-0 with his third goal of the weekend.  North Georgia cut the lead in half in the 29^th minute scoring on a corner kick of their own.  However, freshman Thiago Ramos responded right back less than 40 seconds later on an assist from Darren Toby. 

The Rams defense pitched a second-half shutout and Fricke added two second-half goals giving the Rams all the offense they would need. 

UM has now outscored their opponents 18-2 during the team’s recent three-game win streak.  The Rams will return to the field next Wednesday, Oct. 22 when they face cross-town rival Spring Hill College at 7 p.m. in The Jungle.
