Rams Win at OCU

Box Score
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK:  The Texas Wesleyan University men's soccer team (11-5-1, 5-4 SAC) took a 1-0 win in Sooner Athletic Conference play at Oklahoma City University (7-6-2, 3-3-2 SAC) on Tuesday.
 
Both teams took six shots in the first half, but the Stars did not get a shot on target, while Joe Shulberg stopped the Rams' lone shot on goal.
 
The game remained deadlocked well into the second half until Edvaldo Pedro played a long pass ahead from midfield in the 74th minute.  Alejandro Rivas was there to chip the ball over Shulberg and into the net.
 
The Texas Wesleyan defense allowed just one shot on goal from Oklahoma City.  Arturo Sanchez made the save on that shot to preserve his second straight shutout and improve to 3-1 on the season.
 
For the game, Texas Wesleyan outshot Oklahoma City 10-9 and led 3-1 in corner kicks.  Texas Wesleyan was called for 14 fouls, while the Stars committed eight violations.
 
The Rams will play their regular season finale on Saturday, as they host Southwestern Assemblies of God University.  That game is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start at Martin Field and will be preceded by Senior Day festivities.  Texas Wesleyan is currently tied for fourth in the SAC standings.  If they hold onto that spot, they would host a conference tournament game on Friday, November 8.
