Utah Tech men's soccer suffered a 3-0 home loss in a Sunday matchup with the Air Force Falcons.
HOW IT HAPPENED: Air Force was able to get out on the front foot in the opening 10 minutes of the match. Putting away a goal in the 6th minute of play helped the Falcons to find a rhythm quickly and forced the Trailblazers to try and come back from the beginning of the match.
Through the rest of the first half after the opening goal, Utah Tech continued to fight to find the equalizer. The Trailblazers were able to get two good looks in the opening first half from Taylor Rogers and Jimi Villasenor, but neither found their way into the back of the net.
In the 66th minute the Falcons added another to their goal tally, doubling their advantage. Some offensive-minded substitutions found a spark for the Trailblazers but they were still unable to capitalize and find a goal on the day.
With just six minutes to play the Falcons tacked on another goal. At the end of 90 minutes the Trailblazers suffered a 3-0 loss inside Greater Zion Stadium.
STAT BREAKDOWN: Â The Trailblazers had four shots with three on goal.
Taylor Rogers had two shots and

Carlos Vargas each had one.

NOTES TO KNOW: Utah Tech now has a 3-7-0 record overall on the season. The Trailblazers are 1-1-0 in WAC play.
