MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The University of Montevallo men's soccer team lost their first conference matchup of the year on Saturday, dropping a 1-0 contest to Lander University.

It was an evenly contested first half, with Lander recording eight shots to Montevallo's six, and both teams put two shots on goal.

Kyle Stuller, Nikola Klacar, Ram Gilad, and Jeffrey Hessenberger all had two shots in the game for Montevallo.

Montevallo (4-2-3, 1-1-2) hits the road next week, traveling to the University of North Georgia to take on the Nighthawks on Wednesday, October 8.
