For the men’s soccer team, it was the same story, different chapter.

The team lost 2-0 Tuesday against Oral Roberts University, putting its record for the season at 0-4-0.

Oral Roberts improved its record to 4-0-0, with goals from senior Trey Vaut (10:50) and sophomore Sun Potter (85:38).

Coach Blake Amos said he was not pleased with the team’s performance.

“This is the worst loss of the season, RPI wise,” Amos said. “We have only had 55 good minutes of the season so far.”

The team was dissapointed after this loss, sophomore goalkeeper Justin Durst said. “We need to calm down and know who we are and play within our own personalities.”

Senior midfielder Nick Browne also said he was disgusted with the team’s performance, but the team must find positives in the loss.

“We didn’t score; there’s nothing to be happy about,” Browne said. “We cannot get down on ourselves, and know that this isn’t a conference game. We must stay focused.”

Amos said he is curious to see what happens this weekend.

“I want to win a game,” Amos said. “I will consider wholesale changes if this team doesn’t step it up.”

The team will get that chance for a first win with two games in Dallas this weekend. The Frogs face Loyola University on Friday, then University of Missouri-Kansas City on Saturday. Both games start at 5 p.m.
