The visiting Lancers dropped their Metro Classic Conference and season opener on Wednesday.

Thomas More scored in the 30th and 45th minutes to take a 2-0 halftime lead before a scoreless second half.

"We did a number of good things in our first match and also learned where we need to improve," St. Joseph coach Gino Alia said. "They capitalized on two of our mistakes, one literally seconds before halftime. Often times that can be a precursor to the floodgates opening, but our boys responded well in the second half.

"Our younger players held their own against some experienced players, and we just need to keep working, building and learning one match at a time."
