October 5 St. Louis Community College at Sedalia 

SFCC (0-10-1, 0-4 in Region 16) fell 10-0 to 13^th-ranked St. Louis Community College at the Fred E. Davis Sports Complex in Sedalia on Saturday, October 5. The match was part of the Region 16 schedule for both teams.

St. Louis scored three goals in the opening half to lead 3-0 at halftime. St. Louis added seven goals in the second half.

Eidson got the start in goal for SFCC.

"I thought the first half was the best half of soccer that we probably played all year," said Poropat. "We were missing five players today. That hurt our depth, and you could see that as the game went on, fatigue set in. St. Louis is a very good team. They are very well coached, and we wish them the best of luck this season."
