Box Score
In the final game of the regular season for the Louisiana College men's soccer team, despite a strong defensive performance, the Wildcats were defeated by the UT Dallas Comets by a score of 2-0, their second 2-0 loss of the week.

After a strong defensive start to the game for the Wildcats, the Comets attack eventually were able to find space on the right wing and put a shot past goalie Nathan Gautreaux to his left for the first score of the game.  The Wildcats would contine to play solid defense throughout the rest of the half, thwarting several UTD opportunites, including a tremendous diving save on a penalty kick by Gautreaux.  The score remained 1-0 through the end of the half.

Dallas were able to find another goal in the second half despite the Wildcats efforts.  It came on a header in the middle of the box after a corner kick, Gautreaux was able to get a hand to it but unable to keep it out of the net.  The Wildcats had a golden opportunity late in the second half after a great touch from Nik Kalaj, created space towards the Comets goalie, but the ball was knocked away at the last second and Kalaj was unable to produce a shot.

Before the game the Wildcats honored two senior members of the program as they participated in their final games at Louisiana College.
