Dominican 3 Concordia 1 (NAC Semi Final)
Dominican advanced to the championship game of the Northern Athletics Conference (NAC) Men's Soccer Tournament with a 3-1 win over the visiting Falcons on Wednesday.

Trailing 2-0 at the break, CUW came out with a vengeance after halftime. Zach Jensen scored to pull the Falcons to within one goal in the 47th minute but a late Star tally ended any hope for the upset.
Nationally ranked Dominican improved to 15-3-1 on the season and will host Aurora, a shootout winner over Edgewood, in Saturday’s NCAA qualifier.
