Storm take down Buena Vista for road conference win

STORM LAKE, Iowa - The Simpson College men's soccer team disposed of Buena Vista by a score of 4-2 in American Rivers Conference play.

The Storm (5-7, 2-1 A-R-C) bounced back from a tough loss at home against Luther, scoring four goals in the first 60 minutes to easily dispatch the Beavers (1-9-2, 0-4 A-R-C). The Storm had a different goalscorer on all four goals, with the final three coming in a 10-minute span in the second half.

• Buena Vista did not go away quietly though, cutting the lead to 4-1 in the 67th minute.
