Box Score FULTON – Sophomore Peter Geraci netted his second penalty kick of the year for the Rangers' lone goal in a 4-1 loss to the MACJC North Division Champions Itawamba on Friday afternoon at the ICC Soccer Complex.

Itawamba improved to 9-3-3 overall and 5-1-2 in the north, while Northwest fell to 6-3-2 and 3-3-1. 

Evan Thomas' goal in the 17th minute and Michael Wathen's in the 26th gave ICC a 2-0 lead at half.

After falling behind 3-0 early in the second, Geraci connected on a penalty kick in the 81st minute to avoid the shutout before ICC capped the scoring with a Brayden Timmons goal in the 88th minute.

ICC outshot Northwest 16-11 on the day and held the Rangers to just three shots on goal.
