One early goal and one late goal sealed Monmouth's fate in Tuesday night's 2-0 loss at Dubuque.
 
The Scots and Spartans played to a scoreless tie through the first 45 minutes but Dubuque slipped a shot past the Scots in the first minute of the second half to score all the goals they would need. Dubuque added a free kick goal in the 87th minute to push the Scots below the .500 mark.
 
Monmouth hits the road again Saturday when they open Midwest Conference play at 11 a.m. at Cornell.
