The Triton College men's soccer team suffered their first loss of the season, a 2-1 setback to Rock Valley College, Oct. 3 at the Jorndt Athletic Complex.
Â
Despite the defeat, the Trojans (8-1-2) remain in the
NJCAA top 20, dropping two spots to No. 17 in the poll released on Oct. 5.

Triton had their share of chances to get on the board and eventually broke through when
Brandon Delgado (Leyden) buried a shot from the right side from about 20-yards to give the Trojans a 1-0 lead in the 59
th minute.
Â
However, the Golden Eagles would not down without a fight and staged a late rally to stun the Trojans. Â
Â
In the 68th minute, Rock Valley capitalized off a Trojans foul that gave the Golden Eagles a free kick which they cashed in on to draw even. The equalizing goal gave Rock Valley life as visitors struck again to take the lead in the 81
st minute.

Triton looks to get back in the win column when they travel to Joliet Junior on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Game time is 2 p.m. Â
