[Men's Soccer] UCM's Season Ends in Mobile

UC Merced spotted Mobile Bracket host and top seed University of Mobile an own goal and then evened the score to go into halftime knotted at 1-1, but the tough Ram defense shut down the Bobcats in the second half and pulled away for a 4-1 win in the First Round of the NAIA Men's Soccer National Championship.  The loss ends an outstanding season for the Bobcats (12-3-5), who dropped the final two matches of the 2022 campaign after going 84 days without a defeat since losing to NCAA D2 Cal State East Bay 1-0 on Aug. 25—nearly three months ago.  Thursday's match marked the sixth consecutive year UCM has competed in the national tournament.
