Women fell, 6-0, on Friday and 9-0 Saturday, with players putting all their effort forth said head coach Lance Noble.

The men had a 5-1 loss Friday with a goal by Jesus Cazares, a game that also saw goalie Edgar Martinez out with a knee injury. Luis Lopez was in the box Saturday as the Spartans fell, 2-0.
