The Austin College men's soccer team fell 2-0 to visiting Colorado College on Friday afternoon, with the Tigers scoring once in each half to drop the 'Roos to 3-10-3 overall and 3-7-2 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

In the second half, Colorado College began to take control with an 11-2 shot advantage and Seth Newby scored on a feed from Max Grossenbacher in the 52nd minute to make it 2-0, and the 'Roos were unable to cut into the margin.
Andrew Celio had a strong game in goal with eight saves for the 'Roos, while Ian Horne made three saves for Colorado College as the Tigers out-shot the 'Roos 19-7 overall in the game.
Austin College will be looking to rebound when they take on the University of Dallas at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
