ACU Soccer (7-8-1, 2-5-0) dropped both road matchups this week as the Wildcats have now lost four straight games. 

The Wildcats took on Southern Utah (3-8-5, 3-3-1) and came up short by one goal, losing in a final of 3-2. 

The Thunderbirds got on the board early scoring their first goal in the 14th minute of play. However, the Wildcat leader in goals this season, junior forward Chayse Thorn, evened up the score in the 18th minute, scoring her 13th goal of the season. 

Later into the game, in the 58th minute, Southern Utah would retake the lead and go up 2-1. A little over three minutes later, sophomore defender Georgia Guenther assisted senior forward Jordan Michie for her second goal of the season and once again the game was tied. 

Late into the game, in the 85th minute SUU’s Ashley Rivera would score the go-ahead goal which would end up being the game winner as the Wildcats would fall in a close one. 

Sophomore goalkeeper Lili Ross had led with seven saves for the Wildcats and Thorn and Michie led with four total shots on goal. 

On Sunday, the Wildcats dropped another game, falling to Utah Tech (8-4-5, 3-0-4) in a final of 3-1. 

The Wildcats would go up early after a goal from sophomore middle-fielder Taylor Denn, her fourth of the season. The Wildcats would not be able to hold on however, as the Trailblazers would go on to score three goals throughout the game and grab the win. 

Taylor would have one more shot on goal and sophomore forward Peyton Hill would account for five total shots throughout the game, along with three saves from Ross. 

The Wildcats are back home this week for their last two regular season matchups of the season, when they take on Grand Canyon at 7 p.m. on Thursday and California Baptist at 12 p.m. on Sunday. 

The regular season concludes on Sunday as the Wildcats will then prepare for the WAC Tournament, which begins on Oct. 29.
