|
MUSKOGEE, OK: The Texas Wesleyan University men’s soccer team (8-2, 1-0 RRAC) took a 1-0 win at Bacone College (2-8, 0-1) on Thursday, in their first Red River Athletic Conference contest of the season.
A very close contest was decided by sophomore Ricardo Aguilera who scored his first goal at Texas Wesleyan off an assist from Rafael Franco in the 78th minute.
Goalkeeper Joakim Soderbaum improved to 5-0 on the season after making five Saves for Texas Wesleyan. His counterpart, Jonapas Polesello made seven saves for Bacone.
Texas Wesleyan outshot Bacone 17-7 in the contest and led 7-5 in shots on goal.
Head coach Josh Gibbs commented on his team’s performance, “Bacone is a much improved team. This was a very good, close game. Anytime you go on the road in the conference and come away with a win you will take it. We did not have our best game today, but we found a way to win. Hopefully that is the sign of a pretty good team.”
Texas Wesleyan will now prepare to hit the road again on Saturday. They will travel to Tyler, TX, to take on Texas College in RRAC action. That game is scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. start. |
