SPRINGFIELD, MO. - Falling to a late penalty goal, the University of Evansville men's soccer team fell in heartbreaking fashion to 19th-ranked Missouri State on Sunday afternoon at Betty & Bobby Allison South Stadium in Springfield, Mo.
"It was a battle. Missouri State's a very good team and there's a reason there ranked 19th in the country," said Aces head men's soccer coach Marshall Ray. "They were the better team, but we were able to fight back in it today and get ourselves to 1-1. The delay was difficult, but both teams had to go through it and we came back on the field and gave ourselves a couple decent chances on the break and on the counter to go up 2-1 and unfortunately gave up the PK late.
