The Murray State women battled to a draw and men dropped a 4-2 verdict in soccer regular season finales on Sunday at Northern Oklahoma College in Enid.

Each squad will be right back in Enid on Thursday for the start of the Region 2 & South District Tournament at the Advance Soccer Complex.

The second seeded Lady Aggies will receive a bye into the semifinal round on Friday and will play at 5:30 p.m. Murray State's men, who are seeded third, will face off against Northeastern Oklahoma A&M at 3 p.m. Thursday. The Aggies won both games over the Norseman this season by scores of 2-0 and 7-0.

Coach John Connor's Lady Aggies found scoring difficult against the Lady Jets, but thanks to the 13th shutout of the season from sophomore goalkeeper Jimena Guevara battled to the scoreless draw in the match to wrap up the regular season at 14-3-2.

On the men's side, Alexis Lopez and Ethan Squires found the back of the net for Murray State goals as Lucas Peruzo and Lopez notched assists, but the Aggies couldn't hold off the hosts in a loss that cost them an opening round bye in the tournament this weekend.

NOC-Enid scored twice in the first half and added two more to start the second half before Murray punched through the two goals on 13 shots after managing only two shots on goal prior to intermission.
