Top-Seeded UMHB Ends SU's Tournament Run  (11.07.09)     

 BELTON, TX - Schreiner Men's Soccer (4th Seed) lost a hard fought, closely contested semi-final match against tournament host, and #1 Seed, Mary Hardin-Baylor, 1-0.  The Mountaineers came out with a sense of urgency and brought the game directly to the regular season champs.  In the first 14 minutes of the game, SU were able to take 4 shots (2 on target), and win a corner kick before the Crusaders were able to take their first shot.  Unfortunately, that first shot proved to be the game winner.  Trevor Shoppach scored in the 20th minute on an assist from Andrew Carrasco.  The Mountaineers continued to work hard for the rest of the match, never slowing down in an attempt to level the score.  The Cru outshot the Mountaineers 15-14.  Ivan Benitez led SU with 4 shots, Phillip Anderson, Adam Harvey, Zach Williams, and Kenny Benson each had a shot on goal.  Goalkeeper, Matt Johnson recorded 14 saves.

The Mountaineers return their full roster next season, and will prove to be a force to be dealt with.   SU finishes with a record of 9-7-3 (8-4-3 ASC).  Congratulations to Coach Hayes and the rest of the Men's Soccer Team on an inspiring season.
