PIRATES DROP CONFERENCE OPENER AT COLORADO COLLEGE 2-1

Southwestern University's men's soccer team dropped their conference opener at Colorado College 2-1 in a game that saw all goals scored within eight minutes of each other in the first half.

The Tigers took a brief 1-0 lead in the 21st minute on a goal off a corner kick by Reese but the Pirates quickly responded with a goal of their own 40 seconds later. Freshman midfielder Charlie Schreck (pictured) took a feed from senior forward Josh Spencer and slipped a shot past CC's Brian Engle from 12 yards out. The goal is Schreck's second of the season.

Colorado College took the lead in the 29th minute when Cobb scored on a direct kick into the upper right corner, just over the fingertips of sophomore goalkeeper Nick Pierce.

Pierce ended with six saves on the night in 90 minutes of action. Colorado took six more shots than the Pirates, 16-10, and had one more corner kick, 7-6.

With the loss the Pirates fall to 3-3 on the season an 0-1 in conference action. They will remain on the road and continue the conference opener weekend with a match on Sunday at Austin College at noon.
