Nashville, Tenn. -  The Cleveland State men's soccer team lost their second straight match in another heartbreaker in Nashville to Lipscomb 1-0, on Sunday afternoon. 

The Vikings (2-4-0) defense kept CSU in the game, but could not get that key goal the Vikings were trying to get in the match.

Despite giving up a late goal to Lipscomb in the first half, the Vikings defensive pressure lmited Lipscomb to only three shots at the net.  The goal from Lipscomb came at the 36:07 minute- mark, when junior defender/midfielder Zander El-Hindi scored his first goal of the season.  CSU had a chance to tie the game with just a minute left until halftime when junior forward Mike Derezic fired a shot at the net, but Lipscomb's goalkeeper, Lucas Wiman, defended the shot.

In the second half, CSU came out continuing to play tough defense and battling for every loose ball, but could not find that key goal they needed. The Vikings attempted five shots on goal in the contest and had 10 corner kicks in the game.

The Vikings will come home to try to flip the script, where they will play four home matches in a two week span.  Cleveland State will start the home stand off on Wednesday, September 18, when they will face Duquesne at 7:30 p.m. at Krenzler Field.
