THE RUNDOWN
The DBU Men's Soccer team (5-6, 2-4  LSC) fell to No. 7 MSU, 2-1 Saturday night at Patriot Soccer Field. For the second time in three games, the Patriots went punch for punch with a top 25 opponent until the game's closing moments when the Mustangs (14-1, 6-0 LSC) added two unanswered goals to complete the comeback win. 

DBU and Midwestern state traded punches throughout the first half, with the Patriots answering the Mustangs shot for shot as both squads entered the break in a scoreless draw. 

Once again, the Patriots found second-half offense, grabbing the 1-0 lead following a goal from David Trevizo in the 52nd minute. Defensively, the Patriots shutout the conference's top-ranked offense until a set piece off a yellow card created the game-tying goal in the 82nd minute. The Mustangs continued to press, bombarding the Patriots back line until MSU's Brandon Martinez-Trelles connected with Mere Escobar for the game-winning score in the 87th minute.

COACH JESS JOBE ON THE GAME 
"I am really proud of our effort. We worked really hard and put ourselves in a great position to be successful. We had a great first half, we started well, and that was one of our main focuses. We did a great job defensively in the first 60-70 minutes of preventing them [MSU] from doing the things they wanted to do... We worked a great goal by overloading the backside to go ahead 1-0. We had chances to put the game on ice and go up 2-0, but unfortunately, they just didn't go our way... We matched their energy tonight, and I felt really good about our effort all the way to the final moments."
