Alejandro De La Torre went up against 18 shot attempts from the Lions and saved six of them. He is in the OVC top-3 for total saves on the season.
 
Lions would score again at the 72 minute mark and would be the last point scored in the match.

The Cardinals fell in back-to-back conference matches in a tough competition last Sunday against the SIUE Cougars.
 
Similar to the previous game against the Lions, the Cardinals fell 1-0 heading into halftime around the 40 minute mark. 
 
UIW has been consistent about starting the game off explosive, attempting more shots than the opposing team, but have yet to find the back of the net.
