RIO GRANDE, Ohio – The Indiana Tech men's soccer team fell to No. 4-ranked University of Rio Grande, 1-0, on Thursday evening at Evan Davis Field to start a quick two-game road swing.
 
"We played a very good team and we're able to meet at least one of our three objectives: being hard to beat and maintaining a certain level of discipline," head coach David Bokhart said.
 
"The other two objectives: finding ways to keep the ball and build efficiently; and creating and finishing a chance; we need to keep growing. Our experience helped up reach the first goal. We need to improve tactically to achieve the second objective and develop a killer instinct to get the goals."
 
The Red Strom would score the game's only goal in the 20^th minute as they converted off a corner kick with a header from Mitchell Osmond. The Warriors would have a couple of chances to tie the game up in the second half, but URG keeper Luis Rodriguez would stop shots from Ryan Hayhurst and Richard Doll in the 69^th and 81^st minutes, respectively.
 
Edwin Rosado would make three saves in the loss.
 
Tech (3-2) returns to action on Saturday as they take on Shawnee State. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. from Shawnee Turf Field.
