Bonnies get late goal,
hold on to sink Vikings
On a hot, sun-drenched afternoon, the Bonnies (1-0-0) got a late second-half goal from senior midfielder Brett Allen and relied on their defense the rest of the way to defeat the visiting Cleveland State Vikings 1-0 in the season opener for both teams Wednesday at McGraw-Jennings Field.
A Cleveland State (0-1-0) handball at the top of its own box in the 72nd minute resulted in a direct kick, which Allen curved around a wall of Viking defenders and into the upper right-hand corner of the net.
