The University of Southern Indiana men’s soccer team fell to seventh-ranked Rockhurst University, 3-1, Friday evening in Kansas City, Missouri. USI saw its record fall to 3-4-0 and 1-4-0 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, while Rockhurst rose to 5-0-1, 5-0-0 GLVC.
The Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead by halftime and a 3-0 advantage before five minutes were gone in the second half. The Screaming Eagles posted their only tally of the contest at 62:50 of the second half when senior midfielder Josh Weinzapfel (Evansville, Indiana) recorded his team-high fourth goal of the season to cut the deficit to 3-1.
Weinzapfel was assisted on the tally by sophomore defender Lee Gualano (Arlington Heights, Illinois).
The Eagles conclude the road trip to the far west of the GLVC Sunday when they visit William Jewell College for a noon match-up. William Jewell saw its record go to 2-5-1, 1-4-0 GLVC, after falling Bellarmine University, 3-0, Friday night in Liberty, Missouri.
USI posted its first win over William Jewell, 2-0, last year at Strassweg Field, but trails in the all-time series, 3-1-0.
