The Charger men's soccer team's season came to a conclusion Tuesday evening, falling to the two-seeded Concordia Bulldogs in a shootout in Seward, Nebraska.
"It was a disappointing season overall and a heartbreaking way to end the season for us. The boys gave everything to the game, and we probably deserved a little more than what we got tonight. I'd like to thank all of our seniors who have given so much to the program," said Head Coach

th minute. Haenel in the first period recorded three saves.
Concordia scored the equalizer in the 74

After two scoreless overtime periods, the Bulldogs advanced via 5-4 through a shootout.
