The Swope Park Rangers fell to their first defeat in their final preseason game on Saturday night, suffering a 2-1 loss to Creighton University at Swope Soccer Village. Following the culmination of their preseason, SPR will kickoff their inaugural USL campaign on Saturday, March 26 when they take on Portland Timbers 2 at Children’s Mercy Park.
The Rangers started brightly and almost went ahead in the fourth minute when Amer Didic got his head on a cross but the Creighton goalkeeper was able to claw his header off the goal line.
Three minutes later, SPR took the lead.
