Johnson makes a save vs. TLU but SU falls 1-0
For the
fifth time in six matches this fall, Schreiner
Men's Soccer lost a one-goal match. The
latest was a 1-0 home loss to Texas Lutheran at
Mountaineer Field. Of those five one-goal
losses, four were of the 1-0 variety.
It didn't take long for the visitors to get the
decisive edge in the match. Just six
minutes in, TLU's Michael Weatherby scored on an
Alex Hegert assist to take a 1-0 lead.
Despite the fact that Schreiner outshot the
visitors in both halves, the home team could not
give their fans what they wanted - a tying goal.
Eight Mountaineers (0-6, 0-3 in ASC) had shots
in the match with five being on goal.
Freshmen Zach Williams and Tanner Overstake each
had two to lead a balanced offensive attack.
Again, the SU defense was stout and up to the
challenge. Freshman goalkeeper Matt
Johnson only had to make two saves as his
defensive unit kept the TLU pressure to a
minimum but it just wasn't enough.
The team has some time to regroup before
traveling to east Texas next weekend for its
next pair of matches. SU is bound to break
through soon. |
