Appleton, Wis. - To say the Illinois Tech men's soccer team has been fit to be tied so far this season would be an understatement. Yet the Scarlet Hawks once again found themselves earning another draw, this time of the come-from-behind variety as they tied Lawrence University 1-1 in a non-conference matchup Wednesday night at Lawrence. With the tie, the Scarlet Hawks moved to 2-3-4 overall. The Vikings are now 0-3-2.

Illinois Tech outplayed the Vikings for the most part, winning the shot battle 23-11 and shots on goal 10-2. The Hawks also owned possession time 55% to 45%.
