EVANSVILLE, Ind. (Oct. 15) -- TCU's men's soccer team dropped its second consecutive match on Sunday, October 15, as the Purple Aces of Evansville defeated them 1-0 in a Missouri Valley Conference matchup. With the loss, the Frogs fell to 6-7 on the year on 2-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. The win was only Evansville's third of the year and their second in the conference. The Purple Aces are now 3-7-2 and 2-4 in the MVC.
The game's only goal came in the second half when Evansville's Terence Gargantini kicked a ball up the middle that TCU goalkeeper Michael Lahoud attempted to cut off, but midfielder Ricardo Guedes got to the ball first and banged it in for the game-winner. The goal was Guedes' second of the year.
The 1-0 loss was TCU's second consecutive defeat after upsetting then #11 Southwest Missouri State 1-0 last Sunday, October 8, in Fort Worth. The Frogs were 3-0 in 1-0 games this season prior to their two defeats this weekend coming at the hands of Western Kentucky and Evansville.
The Horned Frogs return home this Friday, October 20, to face the Bruins of Belmont at 3 p.m. in Missouri Valley Conference action. The men play their final home game of the year on Sunday, October 22, when they face Vanderbilt at 1 p.m. The match will be the final home game for seniors Matt Groves, Brad Johnson, Doak VanEnk, and Mike Martin.
