The Keuka College men’s soccer team had its five-game unbeaten streak snapped with a 1-0 loss to the Express of Wells College on the road Wednesday.
The loss drops Keuka to 4-2-1 overall while Wells improves to 2-6 on the season.

After the two teams played a scoreless first half, Wells finally snuck one of its few shots past the Storm’s keeper. The goal, scored by Justin Rigney, came unassisted in the 62nd minute (61:45).
Keuka goalie Mike Meskill (Trumansburg, N.Y./Charles O. Dickerson) finished with six saves as Wells’ Mike Birklin stopped four shots while picking up the shutout.
