JACKSON, Miss. --- The Auburn Montgomery men's soccer team dropped just their second Gulf South Conference match of the season on Friday, Nov. 1 to the Choctaws of Mississippi College in a 2-0 setback.
 
NOTEWORTHY
- With the loss, AUM's record now sits at 7-5-3 overall, and 4-2-3 in GSC play.
- Wet conditions at Longabaugh Field on the campus of Mississippi College forced the game to be played at Belhaven Bowl Stadium on the campus of Belhaven University in Jackson, Miss.
 
STANDOUT PERFORMERS
- Arnaud Baron led AUM with a pair of shots taken in the game, including one on frame.
- Rasheed Bolaji, Andrew Elkins and Lyndsey Moreland all also tallied a shot for the Orange and Black, while Alexis Arriaga accounted for a shot on goal.
- In goal, Alexander Kraus (7-3-3) logged four saves in all 90 minutes of action for the Warhawks.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Choctaws logged both of their goals within a five-minute span of game time within each other. MC's first goal came in the 45th minute right before the half, courtesy of a corner kick.
- Goal number two came in minute number 49 to double their lead early in half number two. 
 
QUOTING THE COACH
"Today was a well-contested game," Head Coach Matthew Thorne said. "I was disappointed that we conceded a corner before the half that led to a goal. After that, I felt like we struggled chasing the game. We've got to be more ruthless defending set pieces in the GSC. Mississippi College is a quality opponent, and took their chances well today. We'll look to recover now and focus for Sunday's game at Delta State." 
 
INSIDE THE BOXSCORE
- AUM was outshot by the Choctaws in the game, 12-6.
- Of the Warhawk's six shots, five came in half number two and two of them came on frame. 
- Both teams took four corner kicks in the contest.
- AUM was tagged for 18 fouls on the afternoon, while MC was whistled for 13. 

UP NEXT
- The Warhawks will return to action on Sunday, Nov. 3 against Delta State in the final leg of their two-match swing in Mississippi. Kickoff from Delta Field is set for 3:00 p.m.
