CLINTON, Miss. --- The Mississippi College men's soccer team will host their second home game against Florida Tech on Sunday at 4:00 p.m at Longabaugh Field.

The Choctaws (0-1) suffered a tough loss to Nova Southeastern 3-1 in their first match of the season, on Thursday. Junior Kendall Carballo (Goicoechea, San Jose) led the attack as he scored his first goal of the season off an assist by junior Tobias Betz (Munich, Germany).

Sophomore Humberto Pelaez (Panama City, Panama) made seven saves in the match against the Sharks. Senior Daniel Lang (Jackson, Miss.) and Perry Goldsbury (Derby England) led the defense that allowed just 10 shots on goal.
