Banner, Cougars Trip Up No. 13 Rockhurst
         KANSAS CITY, MO. - Mike Banner scored twice, including the game-winner, as No. 2-ranked Southern Illinois University Edwardsville swept past 13th-ranked Rockhurst 3-1 on Sunday.
         The Cougars improved to 9-1-1 overall and 5-0-1 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The victory extended SIUE's streak of 28 games in the GLVC without a loss. Rockhurst, one of three teams to defeat SIUE last season in its national runner-up run, fell to 7-3-1 and 5-2-1 in the GLVC.
         SIUE next faces Lewis on Friday and UW-Parkside on Sunday. The Lewis game is set for 7:30 p.m. The UW-Parkside game is a 2:30 p.m. start.
         Trevor House picked up his first goal as a Cougar. The Cougar defender gave SIUE an early 1-0 with a shot from five yards out from Victor Pacheco.
         Banner scored what would be the game-winner at 23:07 on a pass from Pete Cacciatore.
         After being down 2-0 at halftime, Rockhurst midfielder Michael Ragsdale was red-carded at 48:35 after receiving a yellow card just four minutes into the match. Rockhurst did lay down, however, scoring with a man down at 51:45 as Tom Heinemann scored from 10 yards out from Adam Johnson.
         Banner then left no doubt as he scored his fourth goal of the weekend at 70:16. The tally was from 15 yards out on a pass from defender Kevin Thibodeau.
