Men's soccer suffered a frustrating loss on on Saturday, playing at no. 7 William Jewell. The Pioneers came in needing a win in order to pursue post season play, but were unable to come up with the victory. Jewell scored in the eighth minute off of a set piece to make it 1-0, and things started to go downhill for the Pioneers after that. Senior Felipe Guimaraes was shown a very questionable red card by the referee, forcing MNU to make a comeback playing a man down the rest of the game. In the end, the task proved too hard for the Pioneers, as they fell 5-0.
On Tuesday, MNU hosted Benedictine College for the last conference match. Although the game meant vitually nothing for both teams (MNU was already eliminated from the playoffs and Benedictine was already in) MNU came out to prove what a great team they were. They dominated the game from start to finish, ending with a solid 1-0 victory. Trench Remmich scored the goal, assisted my Michael Shadfar. Although it's not the type of end of season the Pioneers had hoped for, they look forward to next year, returning a team that is capable of anything.
