LEBANON, Ill. - McKendree University men's soccer dropped back-to-back matches with a loss on Friday night to Lindenwood, 0-3. The Bearcats remain in the hunt to host Great Lakes Valley Conference tournament contests and currently sit in fifth place.

McKendree was out-paced by the Lions, with a Lindenwood goal coming in the 12th minute of action off of a misplayed ball by the Bearcat defense, which would eventually become the game-winner. The Bearcats had trouble with establishing a consistent attack during the first half with only two shots and two corner kicks in the first 45. Overall, McKendree struggled to keep the ball in the attacking half and was out-shot 18-9 by the Lions. 

Of the nine total shots by the Bearcats, only two were sent on-frame with freshman midfielder Philipp Schmidt and sophomore midfielder Fetiol Hyke each recording one on goal shot. Six other Bearcats collected at least one shot with senior forward Gonzalo Correa firing two total shots while senior forward James Stone, junior midfielder Karson Huels, junior defender Cole Gerstenberger, freshman defender Christoph Gruber, and freshman forward Findlay Cook all added one shot each. 

Senior keeper Alvaro Cortazar grabbed four saves on the night but took the loss in the full-time match. Cortazar moves to 7-4-3 this fall with the unfavoable result.
