With the score 1-0, Hope had a chance at the equalizer, but could not connect and moments later DeQueen tacked on their second goal to make the game 2-0, leaving Hope with a uphill battle the remainder of the game. 

The second half, Hope controlled the tempo and got on the board on a nice pass from Elliott Vazquez to Bradley Brown who found the back of the net, to make the score 2-1. A valiant effort from Hope came up just short as the time ran out. 

Hope has a busy week next week with three games, and the 2nd half of conference begins on Friday. The Bobcats will get another crack at the Leopards in a few weeks, as they still control their own destiny for the conference championship.

Hope is back on the pitch Monday in Little Rock Southwest.
