#17 SCORPIONS OUTLAST RAMS
October 10, 2009

FORT WORTH, TX:  The Texas Wesleyan University men’s soccer team (8-5, 1-3 RRAC) suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of 17th ranked UT-Brownsville (9-0-1, 3-0) at Martin Field on Saturday.

A remarkably tight game was decided just under 30 minutes in on a goal from UTB’s Aaron Guerrero.  The Scorpions outshot the Rams 4-3 in the first half.

The margin remained a single goal until Steve Howard fed Evans Frimpong for a second goal in the 77th minute.

UT-Brownsville outshot Texas Wesleyan 12-8 in the game and 6-3 in shots on goal.  The Scorpions also led 5-4 in corner kicks and 11-10 in fouls.  Toby Rochau made four saves in goal for Texas Wesleyan, while his counterpart, Juan Gamboa, made three stops for UT-Brownsville.

The Rams will now prepare to travel to nearby Cedar Hill, TX, to take on Northwood University in Red River Athletic Conference.  That game is scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. start on Thursday.
