The NCCAA National Championships started with a loss for Grace College’s men’s soccer team on Monday.

The Lancers fell behind early to No. 1 Southwestern Christian University, and a late rally was not enough in a 4-2 defeat at Austin-Tindall Regional Park.

The match opened slowly; the Lancers (12-6-4) attempted to dictate play through possession but struggled to connect on a consistent basis.

The rest of the half saw few chances from the Lancers. The Eagles (18-5-1) threatened Grace’s goal and hit the goalpost twice, but the match remained scoreless entering the final minutes.
