PALATINE, IL-  The 2-seeded Harper College men's soccer team played host to the 3-seed Madison College WolfPack in the Region IV Semifinals on Tuesday.  In the third matchup between the two teams, the Hawks stayed perfect with a 4-1 victory.

Harper got things started off quickly with two Jose Garcia-Lopez (Wheeling) goals in the first 45 seconds of the match.  The first goal was assisted by Ricardo Gonzalez (Palatine).  The WolfPack would cut the deficit in half with a 5th minute goal.  The Hawks would answer back to expand back to their two-goal lead on an unassisted goal by Matthew Austin (Fremd) in the 26th minute.

The score would remain 3-1 in Harper's favor through the end of the first half and the beginning of the second until Pedro Botello (Rolling Meadows) put the match out of reach with a 73rd minute goal.  The Hawks would hold on to the 4-1 lead the rest of the way, clinching their spot in the Region IV Finals.  Kevin Sieb (Huntley) received the win in goal for the Hawks, saving 3 shots and only allowing 1 goal.

With the win and Elgin Community College upsetting the 1-seed Triton College Trojans, the Hawks will host the Region IV Finals on Saturday.  Harper will host the Spartans at 12pm.
