FORT WAYNE, Ind. - In the home conference-match opener, the IPFW Mastodons suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 loss in the last two minutes of the match to a UMKC penalty kick.

With less than a minute left, IPFW came close to tying the match off of Lisa Underwood's shot, but the 'Dons could not get the equalizer.
