PASADENA- The University of La Verne men's soccer squad finished on the wrong side of a close match Wednesday night, falling 1-0 to Chapman University.
The Leopards (6-5, 4-5 SCIAC) outshot Chapman (7-4-2, 5-3-1 SCIAC) by a 16-15 margin and put six shots on goal to the Panther's five, but failed to find the back of the net in the conference road tilt.
Junior midfielder Boyd Christiansen and freshman forward Saul Uribe each fired five shots, with Uribe putting three on goal. Freshman goalie Dylan Roberts recorded four saves.
Twenty-five total fouls marked a physical match, including three yellow cards to each squad in the second half. The Leopards were awarded two corner kicks to Chapman's six.
La Verne is slated to play Caltech in a SCIAC matchup Saturday at Pasadena. Game time is 4 p.m.
