Murray State College men's soccer saw its season come to an end Friday following a 2-1 loss to the University of Arkansas-Rich Mountain in the NJCAA Region 2 Soccer Tournament semifinals.
 
The Aggies and Bucks played a scoreless first half with neither team able to find the back of the net through the opening 45 minutes.
 
Rich Mountain struck quickly in the second half, scoring in the opening minute off a cross that was headed into the net to give the Bucks a 1-0 advantage.
 
Murray State responded in the 55th minute when Pedro Massei delivered a great pass to Caio Carneiro Teixeira who tapped the ball into the back of the net to even the score at one.
 
However, Rich Mountain answered just five minutes later, scoring in the 60th minute to regain the lead at 2-1.
 
The Aggies continued to battle over the final 30 minutes but were unable to find an equalizer as Rich Mountain held on for the victory and a spot in the Region 2 championship game.

The Aggies conclude their season with a record of 7-6-2.
