ST. PAUL, MINN. - The University of Northwestern men's soccer team [1-1-1 overall] came up short, 6-0, against the University of St.Thomas [3-0-0 overall] Tuesday afternoon. With the loss, the Eagles fall to 1-1-1 on the season. 

Both teams came out ready for action, battling to a 0-0 score up until the final 12:00 of the first half. Though UNW kept the pressure on, UST managed to net two goals to take a 2-0 lead at the intermission break.
