Box Score The first seven minutes of the non-conference match against the University of Dubuque left the Scots reeling. Although they would answer two times before the first half was over, it was not enough. The Spartans won the non-conference bout 3-2.

Monmouth answered Dubuque's early charge after finding themselves down 3-0 in the 7'. Sophomore Lucas Sondgeroth possessed the ball down the outer third of the field, beating four UD defenders before crossing a low dribbler to a streaking Jack Ressler for the score in the 11'.

The Scots would tack on one more goal in the 30' as Agustin Miranda took the cross and found the back of the net, to bring the goal count within one.

The rapid pace continued throughout the second half of play, but neither team was able to break free for another goal.

The Scots will regroup heading into game number two of their three game home-stretch, on Thursday against Illinois Wesleyan.
