SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS – The University of the Incarnate Word men's soccer team heads out of state for the second straight weekend.  They play at Southern Nazarene of Bethany, Oklahoma on Friday at 7 p.m.

The Cardinals (0-2) opened the season ranked #10 in the National Soccer Coaches of America Association pre-season poll, but fell out of the Top 25 this week.  The Crimson Storm has also gotten off to a slow start with an 0-3 record after going 5-11-1 a year ago.

The Cardinals have suffered a pair of one-goal losses this year with the game-winning goal being scored in the final five minutes of each contest.  Vincent Bailey (Southport, Eng./King George V) and Placide Buduri (Kigali, Rwanda/Old Dominion) each have scored a goal for the team.  Freshman Dylan Kelly (Tucson, AZ/Salpoint HS) has proven to be a dangerous scoring threat as well.  Midfielder Abraham Campos (Visalia, CA/Golden West) has also seen a lot of attention from opposing defenses.

After Friday's match with Southern Nazarene, the Cardinals will remain in Oklahoma to play Oklahoma Christian on Sunday at 2 p.m.
