LIVINGSTON, Ala. – In a matchup of the top two teams in the Gulf South Conference, the University of West Alabama men's soccer team fell just short Monday evening, as the Tigers fell, 2-0, to West Florida.
 
West Alabama moves to 10-4 overall and 6-2 in the Gulf South Conference with the loss, while West Florida improves to 8-2-2 and 6-0-2 in the GSC.
 
In a game that was intense throughout, the two teams combined for six yellow cards in the contest. UWA freshman defender Danny McCarthy also picked up a red card at the 65-minute mark that caused the Tigers to play a man down the rest of the way.
 
The Argos started their scoring midway through the first half when sophomore defender Stephen Hohn hit a goal off the assist from Zach Reynolds to put UWF up 1-0.
 
West Alabama played stellar defense the rest of the way, but still the Argos were able to knock in a goal at the 87-minute mark to ice the game in the 2-0 West Florida win.
 
UWA outshot the Argos 10-9, while Tiger goalkeeper Jack Moore recorded one save in the contest compared to four from UWF's Steven Hermosa.
 
The Tigers now travel to Cleveland, Miss., Friday to take on Delta State.
