Momentum shift proves costly as Cougars suffer first defeat

In a much anticipated matchup between two nationally ranked teams, the game was deadlocked until an ill-advised red card on Barton's Armando Hipolito turned the momentum with twenty-eight minutes remaining.  The No. 6 ranked Reivers took only four minutes to break the tie then added back-to-back goals at the seventy-ninth and eightieth minutes to blow the game open.  Iowa Western added the final fourth goal with six minutes remaining as the Cougars surrendered four goals in eighteen minutes of play.
