On Saturday night, the men's soccer team not only had to play against the best team in the Mid-American Conference, but they had to deal with the No.1 ranked team in the country.

Despite the score, Bulls head coach John Astudillo thought the effort from the Zips was top notch.

The Zips came roaring out of the gates, led by freshman forward Darren Mattocks.
