EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Southern Indiana men's soccer team did not have shots go its way Friday evening, falling to the University of Missouri-Rolla, 3-1, at Strassweg Field. USI falls to 3-4-0 overall and 1-2-0 GLVC, while UMR goes to 4-2-1 overall, 2-0-1 GLVC.

After falling behind, 1-0, in the first half, the Screaming Eagles got on the scoreboard at the 62:31 mark of the second half. USI junior back Brian Shepherd (St. Louis, Missouri) scored his second goal of the year to tie the game 1-1. The unassisted goal was Shepherd's second of the year.
