PEORIA, Ill. – Ian McGrath found the back of the net twice on Friday afternoon, but his career day at Shea Stadium was ultimately for naught as the University of Evansville men's soccer team fell 4-2 to 16th-ranked Utah Valley in the opening game of the Hotels at Grand Prairie Soccer Series on the campus of Bradley University.
With the loss, UE fell to 1-2-0 on the year and will conclude play in Peoria later this weekend with a Sunday showdown against Fairleigh Dickinson.
Utah Valley, which moved to 2-0-0, wasted little time in getting things started as Skyler Milne netted the opener just 66 seconds after kickoff to spot the Wolverines the early lead.
