Visiting Hardin-Simmons remained in the hunt for
the ASC regular-season title with a 3-1 win over
Schreiner in Kerrville on Friday. All of
the goals were scored after halftime.
The match was basically even in all respects
through 45 minutes of play. With the score
0-0 coming out of halftime, it didn't take long
for the Cowboys (10-4-4, 9-1-2 in ASC) to take
the lead. Forty-two seconds into the final
period, the Cowboys grabbed the slim lead on a
goal by Estevan Arbaiza. Schreiner (2-9-4,
2-7-3 in ASC) didn't take long to pull even.
Freshman Phillip Anderson scored his
team-leading 5th goal of the season on an assist
by another freshman, Lee Bosserman, just
over 60 seconds later tie the match at 1-1.
Going into the midpoint of the second half, it
would remain that way on the scoreboard but
HSU's Isaac Hicks would score the eventual
game-winner in the 63rd minute.
The Mountaineers still were within a goal - a
familiar spot for the 2008 team - with time to
play but a rare SU defensive breakdown, followed
immediately after defensive quarterback Jeremy
Reinhard left the match with an injury, gave the
Cowboys a big insurance goal. Chris Hunter
took full advantage of the lapse near SU's goal
and scored off a nice pass from Arbaiza with
seven minutes remaining to seal the win.
Schreiner plays its final match Saturday at 3:00
pm against McMurry at Mountaineer Field.
It will be the final home match for SU's three
seniors, Reinhard, Brad Baker and Nick Morrison.
Morrison, a goalkeeper, holds both the SU career
and single season shutout records but has missed
nearly the entire season with a knee injury.
Baker has been out since the middle of the
season battling the effects of a concussion.
Reinhard's status for the final match is
unknown. |
