The Hope College men's soccer team showed resilience on the road but came up short in a 5-3 loss at Illinois Technological Institute on Tuesday night in Chicago. 

Illinois Tech (2-0) jumped a 3-0 lead with a flurry of three goals, all from Cal Graham, during a nine-minute span during the first half. 

Hope responded in the 29th minute when freshman Jack Lowman (Novi, Michigan / Northville HS) found the back of the net with a strike to the high right corner, assisted by senior Matt Davidson (Grand Ledge, Mich. / Grand Ledge), trimming the deficit before halftime.

Early in the second half, the Flying Dutchmen made another push. In the 58th minute when sophomore Ryker Corstange (Richland, Mich. / Gull Lake) buried a shot into the high left corner to pull Hope within 3-2. 

Illinois Tech, however, quickly countered, regaining a two-goal advantage less than four minutes later.

The Scarlet Hawks added a fifth goal in the 89th minute, and Hope's final response, a goal from junior Josh Weigel (Naperville, Ill. / Naperville Central) less than a minute later, was not enough to close the final score margin. 

Hope (1-2) returns home to Van Andel Soccer Stadium on Friday, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. against Ohio Northern University.
