ST. LOUIS – The Maryville men's soccer team battled hard but came up short on Senior Day, falling 1-0 to the Upper Iowa Peacocks.

Before the opening kickoff, the Saints celebrated their senior class in Tommy Barrell, Magnus Buschmeier, Steen Nielsen, and Sebastian Weitlaner.

In the second half, the Saints continued to control play, outshooting the Peacocks 10-6 and earning four corners while allowing none. However, a quick Upper Iowa counter in the 87th minute produced the only goal of the game, handing the Peacocks a 1-0 win.
