QUINCY, Ill. – After tying up the score early in the second half, Missouri S&T's men's soccer team was hit by a flurry of goals by Quincy and dropped the Great Lakes Valley Conference contest to the Hawks by a count of 5-1 Sunday afternoon.

The Hawks (2-3-1, 1-0-1 GLVC) scored four times after S&T got a game-tying goal from Eric Ferenbach (Godfrey, IL/Alton) in the early moments of the second half to drop the Miners to 0-5 overall and 0-2 in the GLVC.

The first half was played on even terms and was scoreless until the 43^rd minute of play, when Cooper Reis broke the tie after taking a free kick from Max Christian and hitting a shot past Miner goalkeeper Nick Posey (Edwardsville, IL/Edwardsville).

S&T tied the game in the third minute of the second half when Joe Mueller (Cottleville, MO/Francis Howell Central HS) sent a long pass from the sideline behind the Hawk defense, where Ferenbach got to the ball before Quincy goalkeeper Adam Whybrow did and redirected into the net for his first goal of the season.

However, the Hawks scored twice in a span of 1:09 to reclaim the lead, getting the first goal from Tucker Hayden on a deflection before Reis scored his second of the game on a penalty kick.

Quincy tacked on two more goals in the second half, both off the foot of Aubrey Reis in the 71^st and 76^th minutes of play.

The Hawks outshot S&T 22-7 on the afternoon, including a 10-3 advantage on shots on goal.  Posey and Corey Jolitz (Milwaukee, WI/Marquette University HS) combined to make five saves, while Trey Haman (St. Louis, MO/St. Louis University HS) had a team-high two shots in the contest.

Missouri S&T returns home Friday to host Southern Indiana in a 7:30 p.m. contest.
