WICHITA, Kan. – On Tuesday afternoon, the Newman Men's soccer team hosted Rogers State in their first GAC Conference match at Stryker Sports Complex. Before the contest both teams would kneel and have a moment of silence for a former Rogers State player who died in the line of duty as a Dallas police officer. This match was a good back and forth contest, with the lone goal for RSU coming at the 19th minute mark in the first half. That goal would be all Rogers State would need to beat the Jets as they would hold on 1-0.

Key Sequence

The Jets had a few really good opportunities to net balls, but would come up short in the contest. Rogers State would start the scoring in the 19th minute as Jesus Ramirez would find the back of the net on a pass from Jaxon Pitt for the game's only goal as Rogers State held Newman scoreless.
