Your Flying Eagles Men's Soccer team's season came to a end as they dropped their Region X Quarter-Final match against USC Union 4-1.

Moments later, freshman Oscar Seliger hit the post which would of tied the match at two. However, just a few minutes later, USC Union went down and scored to make the game 3-1. The Bantams would go on to add a fourth goal three minutes later, making a comeback even more difficult. Sophomore goalkeeper Santiago Rea put in a strong performance with 10 saves. 

When asked about the performance Coach Schetka had this to say: " I am proud of the effort and fight our team showed today, we faced a good opponent who has some really special players. Anytime you face a must win environment, the reaction to adversity is always crucial. Going down 2-0 at half, our guys showed the same fight and resilience they had in those moments all season to find a way to make it 2-1. I think we were a bit unfortunate to hit the post with a great chance to make it 2-2 and then they go down and make it 3-1. Even though our season has ended, I am looking forward to getting right to work with this group to continue to implement and build this program to what I believe we can be."
