JOPLIN, Mo. -- The West Texas A&M University men's soccer team had some bad news and good news Sunday afternoon, as the Buffs dropped a 3-0 contest at Missouri Southern State University, but remain in first place in the Southwest Soccer Conference. The loss was WTAMU's third in a row and sixth in the last eight matches, as the Buffs fall to 9-7 overall and 8-3 in SSC.

The Buffs lost despite outshooting the Lions, 21-7, including 7-5 in shots on goal.
