Funk finished a volley from the right wing in the 13
th minute to give the guests the early lead.
The early goal, along with some solid defensive play in the beginning of the half looked like it would bode well for Southeastern. Goalkeeper

The team had to defend four St. Thomas corner kicks, which the Bobcats used to generate their first goal in the 23
rd minute on a header.
In the second half, the Fire had a hard time getting the offense going taking just two shots and three corner kicks.
With 7:01 to play, St. Thomas found the back of the net for the game winner to improve to 4-1.
The Fire will return to action on Saturday at home against Ave Maria at 1 p.m.
