TYLER, TX: The Texas Wesleyan University men’s soccer team (5-3-1, 2-0 RRAC) finished off a 2-0 week on the road with a 2-1 win at Texas College (1-6, 1-1) on Saturday.

 

In the 25th minute, Ivan Kovacevic got by the Texas College keeper and hit the empty net to give the Rams an early 1-0 advantage. The Steers leveled the contest in the 36th minute, when Jesus Segovia found Alfredo Jiminez for a score. Both teams took eight shots in the opening frame and went to the break tied at one.

 

The game remained tied until TJ Romaguera knocked the ball ahead for Liren Halle who found the net for the game-winning goal in the 53rd minute.

 

The Rams outshot the Steers 14-13 for the game and controlled the ball to the tune of an 8-2 advantage in corner kick opportunities. An aggressive TWU squad was called offside 11 times, while Texas College stepped early just once.
