IRVINE, Calif. - The Point Loma men's soccer team took a 1-0 loss at Concordia on Saturday, to put a damper on their postseason hopes.
 
The Eagles scored the only goal of the match in the 77th minute on the second phase of a corner kick by Willy Ospina. PLNU then pressed up trying to get the equalizer, but it never came. Their best chance came on a free kick in the 82nd minute. David Achaerandio took the shot from 25 yards out off a free kick, and it had a chance, but Mackenzie Hutchins made the save. Point Loma did not get a shot the rest of the game, and their corner kick attempt in the final second came up short.
 
CUI outshot PLNU in the game 14-10, but it was even in shots on goal (5-5). Connor McEwen made four saves for the Sea Lions, and Hutchins had five for the Eagles.
