The grind has begun.

American Southwest Conference soccer is in full swing.

On Thursday afternoon, the Lobos dropped a tough match to the University of Texas at Dallas, 3-1, at the Lobo Soccer Field.

Sul Ross scored three minutes into the match when Aylin Pereyra found the back of the net. Pereyra now has a team-high four goals on the year.

Bella Granada broke the tie in the 71st minute during the second half. Lily Tanko added with an insurance goal to go ahead by two in the 89th minute.

Sul Ross goalkeeper Alitzel Ybarra had six saves in the net. The Lobos had eight shots on the goal, nine shots overall.
