WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University men's soccer team fell to Valparaiso, 3-1, on Wednesday night at Tiger Field.
Leroy Enzugusi opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with his team-best sixth goal of the season, but the Crusaders responded with three consecutive goals to leave town with the victory.
Drake controlled 56 percent of the possession and gained a 14-4 advantage in shot attempts, but both sides put four shots on target.
The Bulldogs spent much of the game's early minutes controlling possession with their backline, and this strategy paid off with Enzugusi's goal.
