FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Franklin men's soccer team was back at Faught Stadium on Wednesday (Mar. 10) night with a matchup against the Rose-Hulman Engineers on tap at Faught Stadium.

The Grizzlies (0-3) hung tough with one of the league's perennial powerhouses, but a goal on a broken play with 11 minutes to play proved to be the difference as Rose-Hulman (3-0) claimed a 1-0 win.

How it Happened
