SHERMAN, Texas - Goals by Guillermo Torres and Eduardo Barron gave the LeTourneau men's soccer team leads of 1-0 and 2-1, respectively but a goal in the 87th minute by Austin College would allow the host Kangaroos to come away with a 2-2 tie at the Pierce Complex in Sherman, Texas on Sunday, September 10th. 

With their second consecutive draw, LETU is now 0-2-2 on the year while AC is 3-1-1 overall. 

Torres would open the scoring with a goal in the 19th minute (18:24) by beating Austin goalkeeper Joseph Khalaf just inside the left post on a pass from Nate Berlandier. The lead would be short lived however, as Phillip Le would knot the score at one just three minutes later at the 21:37 mark after a penalty kick would be drawn. Le would see his initial shot saved by YellowJacket goalie Miguel Cabrera but have the ball rebound back to him where he would send the ball home to tie the game. 

LETU substitute David Trost would come in the 28th minute and make a difference in the first half as the junior would let off a shot at the 43:38 mark that would hit the crossbar and bounce back to Barron who found the back of the net to re-give LeTourneau the lead. The score would remain 2-1 heading into halftime for the YellowJackets. 

Defense for both squads would pick up in the second half as only 14 total shots would be let off compared to 23 in the first half, with each putting shots on goal. Looking to make a late push to extend the game, Kangaroo senior midfielder Jack Wheaton would send a ball in that would find the head of Le for his second goal of the game with only 2:57 remaining in regulation. 

The game would end up going to extra time, where both the YellowJackets and 'Roos would each let off four shots but not have any find the back of the net for a winner. 

Austin College doubled up LeTourneau in corner kicks 8-4, and held a 28-17 advantage in shots. LETU would be found guilty of 14 fouls compared to 11 for AC as each team had one player marked with a yellow card. 

Cabrera would pick up his second straight tie in net, playing all 110 minutes and making 10 total saves. The 17 shots by LeTourneau would be a balanced effort with David Sanchez and Varney Carter, along with Trost, Torres, Barron, and Berlandier all had two shots to lead the YellowJackets. 

Thursday, September 14th will mark the start of American Southwest Conference action for LeTourneau as LETU will host the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor at 7:30 p.m. The Cru are 3-1 overall, having last played on Saturday, September 9th with a 3-1 win against Schreiner University.
