Box Score

SOMERS, Wis. (Sept. 12, 2014)-- Unable to find the back of the net despite dominating the opening half of play, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside men's soccer team saw its Great Lakes Valley Conference opener sabotaged by visiting Missouri University S&T, falling 1-0 on a cold and wet Friday afternoon at Wood Road Field.

The Rangers (2-1, 0-1 GLVC) controlled the pace of play the entire first half but was unable to slip the ball past Missouri S&T (2-1, 1-0 GLVC) netminder James Holloway who notched seven saves in the opening stanza. UW-Parkside went into locker room having rifled off 15 of the 16 shots taken in the opening 45 minutes of play, including all seven on target.

Miner substitute David Zdvorak tallied the game's lone score in the 77th minute as S&T held on for the win. Parkside finished the contest with a 19-9 advantage in shots and an 8-3 edge in shots on target.

UW-Parkside goaltender Marcos Perez made two saves in 90 minutes of work while his counterpart, Holloway, finished with eight saves to earn the clean sheet.

The Rangers return to the pitch on Sunday, closing out their four-game homestand against Drury University. Kickoff at Wood Road Field is slated for 12 p.m.
