LIVINGSTON, Ala. – West Alabama men's soccer fell to Mississippi College 4-3 in Gulf South Conference action Sunday, despite a spirited comeback by the Tigers with a hat trick from Thibault Charmey in the final 25 minutes.

Mississippi College improves to 6-3 overall and 1-2 in the GSC, while UWA drops to 4-4 and 1-1.

The Choctaws took a 1-0 lead in the first half with a goal from Stephen Robertson. They continued to apply pressure to the Tigers with another goal from Bastian Busch 10 minutes into the second half.

UWA's comeback began in the 64^th minute with Charmey's first goal on a corner kick that ricocheted off of a MC defender.

Brian Vasquez and Josh Barerra added two more goals in the 68^th and 75^th minutes to give Mississippi College a 4-1 lead.

With less than 10 minutes to play in the match, Charmey scored on a penalty kick and free kick from 10 yards out. Three goals give the senior captain nine on the season and extends him as the program's leading scorer with 25 career goals.

West Alabama led the Choctaws 12-10 in shots on goal. Humberto Pelaez (2-0) made nine saves to get the win. Lavares Stone (4-1) suffered his first loss despite six saves.   

"We did not have the intensity today that we had Friday night," said UWA head men's soccer coach Matthew Thorne.

"We need to have a look at ourselves and get back to training hard, because today Mississippi College was winning the 50/50 chances. Usually that is a big part of our game. One positive is that we pushed on even when it looked like it was game over. I am happy to see us show character late on, but it has to be for 90 minutes. Today was a learning point for us; fortunately it is still early in the season."

UWA men's soccer returns to action Friday as they travel to Jackson, Tenn. to take on Union College. Live stats and video will be available at http://uwaathletics.com/schedule.aspx?path=msoc&tab=soccer2.
