APPLETON, Wis. -- The Lawrence University men's soccer team came up short in a 2-1 nonconference loss to Saint Mary's University on Wednesday night on Ron Roberts Field at the Banta Bowl.
    The Cardinals built a 2-0 lead before Lawrence struck for a goal with just over 20 minutes remaining. Lawrence couldn't get the equalizer, and Saint Mary's hung on for the win.
    Saint Mary's grabbed the early advantage after Cerin Palislamovic scored just moments after checking into the game. His goal at the 36:09 mark gave the Cardinals a 1-0 lead at the break. The Cardinals made it 2-0 when Martin Garr scored on a blast at the 62:32 mark.
    Lawrence bounced back just a few minutes later. Rodrigo Angulo's ball into the box found the head of Zach Dale, who buried the ball in the back of the net at the 69:30 mark to slice the lead in half.
    That would be it for the scoring as both teams had quality chances in the final 20 minutes. Saint Mary's posted a 25-6 edge in shots for the match.
    Ethan Uribe made the start in goal for Lawrence and made six saves for the opening 67 minutes. Nason Lancina played the final 22:41 and didn't record a save.
