CLARKSVILLE, Ark. - In spite of the early momentum, the East Texas Baptist University men's soccer team was unable to keep the University of the Ozarks off the board, resulting in the 2-1 loss on the road. ETBU now sits at 4-10 overall and 3-5 in the American Southwest Conference.

Just 21 minutes into the second half, Drew Mott would put UO over ETBU, scoring the second goal on a penalty kick, pushing the score to 2-1. Both teams would battle back and forth down the stretch but UO would hold on to win 2-1 in the ASC matchup.
