KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. -- The University of Providence men's soccer program fell to Oregon Tech 2-0 Friday afternoon.

The Argos (3-6-2) had a few corner kicks over the next ten minutes but were unable to get a shot on frame.

Both sides had a few chances the rest of the half, but neither team could find the back of the net as the Argos went into the break trailing 1-0.

The Owls pressured to begin the second half with a pair of shots on goal, but the Argos answered with a corner kick, however UP could not get a shot on goal.

The Argos continued to threaten with a shot on goal from sophomore Pedro Rodrigues, but an Owl defender kicked it out of the goal right before it crossed the line.
