The Louisiana College men's soccer team suffered their first loss in over a month on Friday afternoon, as they fell to the Ozarks by a final score of 3-1 at home in Wildcat Stadium.
 
The Wildcats, playing without their superstar sophomore forward Rodrigo Neves, struggled to find their offensive rhythm early on despite a strong defensive effort in the first half.
 
Both teams were held scoreless in the first half until Ozarks' Layne Garcia broke the scoreless tie with an unassisted goal in the 54^th minute to put the Eagles up 1-0.
 
Thomas Mills would put the Eagles up 2-0 nine minutes later with a goal off an assist from Antonio Ramos.
 
Ozarks would get their final goal in the 76^th minute when Matt Weaver fired a shot into the back of the net when the ball deflected off of LC keeper Travis Alexander while Alexander was trying to recover the ball outside of the box.
 
The Wildcats would put pressure on the Eagles' defense late when Fernando Gutierrez put home his first goal of the season in the 87^th minute, but the rally came too late as the Wildcats fell 3-1 to lose their first match in conference play.
 
LC (5-4-4, 1-1-3) will take on perennial ASC power Texas-Dallas at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday in Wildcat Stadium as part of Senior Day activities for the Wildcats.
 
The Wildcats downed the Comets 3-2 last season in Pineville in what was the biggest win in program history to date.
