TIFFIN -- The Heidelberg University men's soccer team played host to Bluffton University on Sunday. The Student Princes struggled to piece together passes in the offensive half of the field, resulting in a 2-0 loss. 

Bluffton (1-0-2) controlled the ball the majority of the game with a total possession time of 64% to Heidelberg's 36%. Both teams drew yellow cards in what was a physical match between the non-conference foes. 

Although Heidelberg (0-3-1) was on the wrong side of things, goalie Sigurd Ilestad turned in a stellar performance with seven saves in the contest. He cleared several shots off the line at point blank range in the first half and helped HU get to halftime in a scoreless tie.  

Bluffton scored twice in the second half, with tallies coming in the 55th minute and 65th minute.  

The Berg's only shot on goal came in the second half when Ethan White kicked one from 25 yards out. 

Heidelberg returns to action on Wednesday as they will host Wooster. Kickoff with the Fighting Scots is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Hidden Valley Soccer Field.
