The Roos' seven-game unbeaten streak comes to an end at the hands of UST

KANSAS CITY - All good things must come to an end, and in the case of Kansas City Men's Soccer (8-3-3, 3-0-1 Summit) this evening, that good thing was a program record-tying seven-game unbeaten streak. The Roos fell at the hands of St. Thomas (4-7-2, 1-4-0 Summit), 2-1 on a penalty kick game-winner. Elie Kisoka scored the Roos' lone goal of the day, his ninth of the season.

KEY MOMENTS | HIGHLIGHTS

19' / 0-1 | The Tommies struck first on a corner kick that turned into an open-goal opportunity. Faris Colic's first shot attempt was blocked away, but his second crept past the end line and into the goal.
23' / 0-1 | Kansas City began to pressure quickly after the St. Thomas goal. Gabriel Fernandes cut up the left side of the field and sent a shot towards goal that was saved by UST's Moritz Krenc.
27' / 1-1 | A beautiful pass was sent forward by Fernando Somolinos Bravo, finding Kisoka in-stride. He brought the ball down and sent a blast off the bottom of the crossbar and down for an equalizing goal.

What a ball by Fernando, and a class finish by the man himself, @Elie_Kisoka ?? #ROOUP | #DeclareKC https://t.co/hYSEgYJita pic.twitter.com/K8RsHsK8L5

53' / 1-1 | Kansas City looked to apply pressure early in the second half as a ball scooted across the face of the goal and found Brevyn Cole on the right side. Cole blasted a shot, but Krenc made a save.
71' / 1-2 | A foul in the box gave UST a penalty kick chance, converted by Colic for his second goal of the night.
77' / 2-2 | Raphael Kistmann fired a shot towards goal that forced Krenc to lay out, but he made the save on KC's final shot on goal of the night.
