Kansas City (2-3, 2-2) took a tough loss in the second game of the weekend series versus South Dakota (1-1, 1-1). The light rain conditions sped the pace of the game up and provided the Coyotes with a momentum that couldn't be overturned by the Roos.

The tone of the game was set right away when South Dakota scored in the first minute of play on a corner kick. The Coyotes added two more goals at 11' and 22' to give the Roos a hard hole to dig out of in the second half.

"I was disappointed with how we came out," said head coach Jess Smith. "You go down 3-0 into halftime and that's a difficult mountain to climb. We were very flat, and our mentality was not where it needed to be."

In the second half, the Roos came out firing to generate some offense and had several good chances, but they could not put one through. Kansas City was outshot 13-6 in the quick offensive game.

"The loss is disappointing, but you have to find positives in it," said Smith. "In the second half, the way we attacked and created some chances, that was a positive for the day."

South Dakota put two more goals in at 74' and right at the end to make the final score 5-0.

Kansas City moves on to play Western Illinois on Friday and Sunday in Macomb, Ill. Game times will be 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively.
