FULTON, Mo. - Westminster men's soccer suffered a 3-1 loss to Central.

The Blue Jays fall to 1-4-1 on the year with the loss. 

The Dutch opened the scoring in the first half in the 16th minute and scored again in the 28th minute to make the score 2-0. 

Westminster got on the board with their lone goal of the game last in the first half in the 41st minute. Mauricio Mateo netted a ball on a pass from Patrick Bromstedt to go into the locker rooms 2-1. 

"We got off to a slow start but we showed some fight as the game went along," said Westminster Head coach Adam Galla. "It's always tough playing back-to-back games, especially against quality opponents. These games should help us for conference play."

Along with the goal from Mateo, Daniel Barone also had two shots and good attempts on goal.
