SAN ANTONIO, TX:  The Texas Wesleyan University men’s soccer team (11-6-2) saw its season come to a close on Saturday.  The fifth seeded Rams fell 1-0 at fourth seeded Our Lady of the Lake University (12-5-2) in Red River Athletic Conference quarterfinal action.
 
In the 16th minute, OLLU’s Brandon Head found Steven Salinas for what proved to be the only goal of the game.

On Saturday, the Saints held the advantage in shots, 16-7.  The game saw 48 fouls and six yellow cards with the Rams catching 25 whistles and four cards.

"I am very proud of this group," commented head coach Tyler Powell.  "They have gone from four wins to a conference competitor in one season.  We are sad that the four seniors had to end their career this way, but we are thankful for their contribution to the program and wish them luck in their future endeavors.  We are also excited about the future with such a large and talented group coming back."
