HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - The No. 3 seed Auburn University at Montgomery Warhawks men's soccer team (10-5-3, GSC: 6-3-2) fell 6-3 to No. 2 seed the University of West Florida Argonauts (12-1-5, GSC: 7-0-4) in the Gulf South Conference semifinals on Friday night at the Loretta P. Spencer Sports Complex Championship Field.

West Florida found its opening goal in the 29th minute and tallied its second goal in the 44th minute to take a 2-0 advantage into the halftime intermission.
 
Second Half
