The State Fair Community College Roadrunners (4-8-2) fell in overtime 3-2 to Metropolitan Community College on Tuesday, Oct. 11 in Kansas City.

Metropolitan Community College opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. SFCC tied the match two minutes later with a goal from sophomore Kenzo Florio off an assist from freshman Hugo Sanchez. SFCC scored once again in the 42nd minute off a goal from freshman Ben Bailie with an assist from sophomore Roberto Jauregui to take the lead into halftime.

"It was a very unusual game," said Roadrunners Head Coach Jaime Beltran. "The wind was a definite factor. Our guys played well and we got a lot of players into the game, which was intentional. We just had a couple of hiccups. We got to play at Swope Soccer Village, which was really nice."
