The Norwalk boys soccer team was defeated 2-0 by Denison-Schleswig on Saturday morning in a matchup of returning state tournament teams. It was the second home loss in less than 24 hours for the Warriors, who dropped a 2-1 decision vs. Spencer on Friday night.

Norwalk outshot the Monarchs but could not put the ball in the back of the net, going 0-for-2 on penalty kick opportunities. Jace Davis, Keilor Rodman and Eli Scavo combined for six of the team’s eight shots on goal.

Denison scored both goals in the first half, getting a penalty kick from Chris Lara and an unassisted goal by Juan Tercero.

Norwalk, now 2-3 overall, will return to Little Hawkeye Conference play on Tuesday with a game at Pella Christian.
