Box Score

EL PASO, Texas — WKU Soccer (3-3-7, 1-1-2 CUSA) fell on the road to UTEP (2-10-2, 1-3-1 CUSA) on Saturday night in El Paso.

"We played a very hungry UTEP team tonight," said head coach Jason Neidell. "Their record is certainly not indicative of the quality that they have. They outplayed us in the first 30 minutes of the game, and that proved to be the difference in the match. We pushed to get the equalizer late, but we were not able to break them down and get any really serious chances on goal. We will regroup and get ready for another tough match on Thursday against LA Tech."

It was a stalemate through most of the first half until the Miners scored the lone goal of the match in the 33rd minute.

WKU outshot UTEP 9-7 in the match, including a 3-2 margin in shots on goal. Kayla Meyer and Aspen Seaich led the Lady Toppers with three shots each. Katie Erwin had two and Rebecca Roth had one. WKU goalkeeper made one save in the match.

The loss ended a four-match unbeaten streak for WKU that featured two wins and two ties. It is also the Lady Toppers' first loss in conference play this season.

The Lady Toppers will return to Bowling Green to face Louisiana Tech on Thursday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. at the WKU Soccer Complex.
