AUSTIN, Texas – The Rogers State men's soccer team was right with No. 23 St. Edward's but a span of less than two minutes in the first half cost them dearly falling 2-0 in Heartland Conference action Monday afternoon at Lewis-Chen Family Field.
 
The Hilltoppers (9-2-1 overall, 4-0 HC) broke the scoreless game open scoring twice in a span of 1:48 as Andrew Fox net his conference-leading eighth goal of the year in the 33rd minute sending a header past RSU goalkeeper Cody Gammill.
 
The deficit for the Hillcats doubled when Josh Taylor took a feed from Fox and scored giving SEU a 2-0 advantage heading into halftime.
 
RSU had back-to-back corner kicks by Danko Kenjic late in the match looking to claw its way back but failed to capitalize and Lars Lindtner's effort in the 84th minute was saved preserving the win for SEU.
 
Gammill suffered the loss in goal for the Hillcats turning aside four shots while Kevin Leib made one save for the clean sheet extending the Hilltoppers' unbeaten streak to nine matches.
 
RSU (5-6 overall, 1-2 HC) returns home to face another nationally-ranked program as No. 13 Midwestern State makes the trip to Soldier Field for a non-conference matchup scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. The match will be available live on the Hillcat Network at www.rsuhillcats.com/live.
