SPRING ARBOR, Mich. - No. 15 Indiana Wesleyan men's soccer found themselves level with Spring Arbor at 2-2 after the final whistle blew on Saturday night. Senior Giuseppe Santacroce began the Wildcat scoring with a goal near-post in the 41st minute, throwing off the SAU goalkeeper. After sophomore Brandon Nyagurungo scored his 18th goal of the season in the 50th minute, SAU tied the game after two goals in four minutes.
