THE LEAD
The Dallas Baptist Men's Soccer team lost to No. 19 Midwestern State University, 1-0, on Saturday night at Patriot Soccer Field in Dallas, Texas. Freshman goalkeeper Tyler Hoffman recorded a program-record 14 saves in the match, limiting the Mustangs to just one goal in the 81st minute.

After a scoreless first half, Midwestern State came out firing in the second half, finally finding the back of the net when Antonio Hernandez found Sebastian Venegas, who dribbled into the box and put a shot past Hoffman into the top right corner.

The Patriots thought they had found the equalizer in the 89th minute, as Garrett Morgan and Mustangs' goalkeeper Noah Fazekas battled for an open ball in the box that bounced to Brooks Friedman. Friedman drilled a shot into the back of the net, but the goal was nullified by the referee due to interference with the goalkeeper.

COACH CHIP DUTCHIK - ON BATTLING IN THE LOSS
"Losing is tough, but our boys stepped up and played with one of the best teams in the country. We were close to tying them, and possible beating them. Like I said last game, you can either say 'woe is me' or you can step up and fight, and our boys will fight and back down from nobody. That's a testament to the guys on the team. They're playing for each other. They're playing for DBU, and that means more than anything."

TYLER HOFFMAN - ON HIS THOUGHTS FROM THE LOSS
