OUAZ men's soccer took the road to this week with playoff implications on the line. The team did not get off to the start they needed to keep pace in the GSAC.

(4) Westmont scored a goal in each half to down the Spirit 2-0 on Thursday. OUAZ's conference record drops to 2-4-1.

Despite being held out of the goal column, the Spirit had plenty of opportunities offensively. They had 11 shot attempts, but only put two on goal. They also had four corner kicks.

Westmont was able to get more of its opportunities on target. The Warriors had five shots on target, and seven corner kicks. OUAZ's Yuri Nascimento made three saves in his first start since October 12.

Saturday's matchup against The Master's has heavy GSAC tournament implications. For OUAZ, it is simple – win, and they are in. If they are to lose Saturday, the Spirit would have to score at least four goals, and William Jessup has to lose to (24) Vanguard without scoring a goal. Arizona Christian also has to lose to Westmont on Saturday afternoon.

Saturday's game against The Master's is scheduled for 1:30pm.
