The Blackburn College men's soccer team lost 5-1 in thier first SLIAC matchup of the season. The Fontbonne University Griffins put a damper on Homecoming and the winning streak.

The Beavers were down rather quickly as Fontbonne scored nine minutes into the game and then again ten minutes later. By the time halftime came around, the score was 4-0.

Alex Miller gave the Beavers a little sense of comeback by scoring three minutes after halftime. Zac Ruyle played a wonderful ball into the box and Miller smashed it home with a header. That was all the scoring Blackburn could do for the afternoon.

Fontbonne scored once more to pull out a victory and put Blackburn at 0-1 in conference play. Shane Rogers had 11 saves.

Blackburn is now 5-5 on the year and will head off to Webster on October 3rd. The night game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
