The William Jewell College men's soccer team hosted University of Illinois-Springfield in a Great Lakes Valley Conference contest at Greene Stadium on Friday evening.  The Cardinals lost a 2-1 heartbreaker in overtime to fall to 2-11 overall and 2-9 in the GLVC.  The win moves UIS to 6-7-1 overall and 5-5-1 in league play.

The first half proved to be a very physical half.  Jewell's Hunter short was ejected at the 27:28 mark after receiving his second yellow card of the contest.  The Cardinals would then have to play a man short the rest of the half and the game.

The Cards hung in and outshot the Prairie Stars 8-5 in the first half and went into halftime deadlocked at zero.

The second half was just as physical but Jewell's Charlie Parrish provided a big spark when he put the Cards on top 1-0 at 56:53 off an assist from Blake Lines. 

Jewell was then handed three more cards including a red card on Jordan Lindsey which put Jewell at a two- man down disadvantage.  UIS took advantage and scored in the 87th minute to send the game into overtime.

The Prairie Stars would win the game at the 94:35 mark in overtime on Mario Falsone's fifth goal of the season.

The Cardinals will continue their home stand on Sunday when they host McKendree University.  Kick-off is set for 2:30 p.m.
