ROLLA, Mo. – In a clash of two teams that entered the night without a loss in Great Lakes Valley Conference play, Missouri S&T remained that way as it got two goals from Felipe Andrade (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) to bump off Missouri-St. Louis 3-1 at the S&T Soccer Field.

The Miners, who suffered their first loss of the season Wednesday in a non-conference tilt with Lindenwood, bounced back by taking control of matters early in the contest against a Triton team that entered the game with a seven-game unbeaten streak – which included a tie against a Rockhurst team currently ranked as the top team in NCAA Division II.

In the 10^th minute of play, Will McIntyre (Queenstown, New Zealand) sent a feed into the box to Unnar Ulfarsson (Gardabaer, Iceland/Fjolnir Reykjavik), who hit a shot by UMSL goalkeeper Jack Filla to put the Miners into the lead.

S&T extended the advantage in the 27^th minute when Ulfarsson sent a long pass from his own end of the field that went over the Triton defenders and sprung Andrade on a breakaway and he beat Filla to make it 2-0.

The Miners outshot the Tritons 9-7 in the first half of the play that ended with S&T holding the two-goal lead, but UMSL cut it half in the first five minutes of the second half when Jake Meyerkord took a shot that was stopped by Miner goalkeeper Aaron Hohenstein (St. Louis, MO/Lutheran South) – but got to his own rebound and scored the unassisted goal.

UMSL continued to put pressure on the Miner defense for a period of time after getting the goal, but the Miners eventually regrouped and were able to add to the lead in the 75^th minute when Andrade and McIntyre forced the Tritons to lose the ball in their own end.

Andrade ended up getting free again after the Miners got possession and gave S&T a big insurance goal when he beat Filla from 15 yards away.

S&T held a 16-13 advantage in shots for the game as Hohenstein was credited with five saves.

Missouri S&T improved to 4-1-4 overall and 3-0-3 in the GLVC with Friday's win, while the Tritons fell to 6-2-1 and 5-1-1 in the conference.   S&T and Rockhurst, at 6-0-1, are the only remaining teams in the GLVC without a loss in league play following Friday's action.

The Miners will wrap up their three-game homestand Sunday when they host Maryville (5-4, 2-4 GLVC) in a 2:30 p.m. contest at the S&T Soccer Field.  The Saints upended Drury 2-1 Friday night in Springfield.
