WILMINGTON, Del. – The No. 6 Millersville men's soccer team (1-1-1) suffered its first loss of the 2022 season Wednesday night on the road to Wilmington (Del.) (1-1-1), 3-1.

The teams were deadlocked at zero for almost the entire first half of action until Wilmington midfielder, Ryuga Uchigashima sent a ball in through the left side of the Marauder box that Evan Stevely finished to give the Wildcats a 1-0 lead in the 44'.

The Wildcats' attack would continue to produce in the second half, scoring two more goals in the 51' and 82' that extended their lead to three goals.

The Marauders would get on the board in the final minute of play, courtesy of a Wildcat own goal.

POSTGAME REACTION FROM HEAD COACH STEVE WIDDOWSON
• Thoughts on the loss: "Unfortunately, there was very little on the positive side today. We were second in almost every facet of the game today and the result was no more than we deserved. We were simply outworked and out thought today, and the collective as well as many individual performances were unacceptable."
• On what the team can take away from the loss: "It is an opportunity to learn. We have to recognize the foundations required to be successful at this level which are a commitment to defending, a high work rate and a willingness to out battle our opponents. If we can bring those foundations every game then we will have a good chance for success. If we are not willing to do those things, then games will continue to be very difficult."
