Coe College - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Kohawks shine at IIAC tennis meet

The Coe College men's tennis team has turned the Iowa Conference tournament into a party for the Kohawks.

The Kohawks dominated the first day of competition Friday and will be looking to crown champions at the Clark Racquet Center Saturday.

Riley Galbraith, Brady Anderson and Alex Bernt of Coe have all reached the semifinals in the singles bracket. Galbraith will face Anderson in one

match Saturday, with Bernt facing Kyle Appel of Luther in the other semifinal.

The Kohawks claimed two spots in the semifinals in doubles. Galbraith and Anderson paired for two victories Friday. Ryan Hickman and Mark Kroll also won two matches for Coe and reached the semifinals as well.

Mills lifts Kohawks in OT

Jake Mills scored in overtime Friday to give the Coe men's soccer team a 2-1 victory over Purdue Calumet at Clark Field.

Dalton Ott tied the game for the Kohawks, 1-1, in the 66th minute with an unassisted goal to force overtime. Masine Zakaria and Jeffry Hernandez collected assists on the game-winning tally by Mills.

Eric Hoar made three saves in goal for Coe (2-6). Purdue Calumet (2-3-1) out-shot the Kohawks, 22-8.

Kohawks looking for faster starts

The Coe College football team has outscored its first two opponents, 64-19, in the second half of games this season.

That's the good news.

Unfortunately, the Kohawks have been outscored 38-14 in the first half, primarily because they trailed Wheaton 31-0 at intermission in the opener two weeks ago.

That's the bad news.

Coe rallied and nearly caught Wheaton before falling, 36-28. This past Saturday, the Kohawks led Cornell 14-7 at intermission before rolling in the second half for a 50-21 triumph.

Needless to say, the Kohawks will be looking for a faster start this Saturday when they host Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the home opener at Clark Field at 1 p.m.
