The University of La Verne men's soccer team dropped a 4-1 final against the visiting Kingsmen from Cal Lutheran University Saturday afternoon at Ben Hines Field.

Raul Yepez was able to get the Kingsmen on the board early with a goal from a direct kick. The Leopards would answer back in the 28th minute when Bryan Mejia crossed the ball to teammate Ruben Trujillo, who then finished with a header.

A 1-1 halftime score would not last long, as Cal Lutheran's Brad Hendrickson scored off a deflection by goalie Ryan Thompson. The Kingsmen would strike two minutes later, as Dirk Onink would give Cal Lu a two goal lead. Ryan McDermott added to the lead in the 83rd minute with an unnassisted goal of his own. The Leopards stepped up their offensive intensity, resulting in eight second half corner kicks. However, La Verne was unable to connect on the attempts, and would suffer a 4-1 loss.

Trujillo netted his fourth goal of the season, and has scored in four of the last five games.

The Leopards will try to stop a two-game skid as they take on the Bulldogs in Redlands next Wednesday night. The match will begin at 7 pm.
