No. 8 WTAMU Men’s soccer played in San Antonio on Sept. 6 against Rollins College. The Buffs could not seem to get past the Tars after losing 2-0.
Both teams took only four shots in the first half, leaving the score 0-0. But in the 50th minute, the Tars scored after Bradley Welch was able to get past WT goalie, Sebastian Furness.
Shortly after, the Tars scored again when Nick Sowers planted a kick in the goal from the left side, making the score 2-0.
“This loss was disappointing,” Butch Lauffer, head coach, said.
“We had a lack of leadership and urgency at times and we’re better than that. There is really no excuse for a poor performance.”
The loss drops WT to 3-1-0 overall, while Rollins improves to 3-0-1 on the season.
Next up, the Buffs will host their first home match of the season against Texas-Permian Basin on Sept. 13 at The Pitch. The game is set to begin at 4 p.m.
“We’ve got a few extra days to prepare for them,” Lauffer said. “We’re going to watch a lot of film and start correcting some of the things that are unnecessary.”
