LONGVIEW, Texas - Putting four of their seven shots on goal, the LeTourneau University men's soccer team saw time run out on them in a 1-0 loss to Concordia University Texas at the Joyce Family Athletic Village in Longview, Texas. 

LETU falls to 0-4-2 overall and 0-2-0 in the American Southwest Conference while the visiting Tornadoes improved to remain a perfect 5-0-0 and 2-0-0 in the ASC. 

The YellowJackets would try to make the most of opportunities from distance in the first half, putting up five shots and forcing four saves by Tornado keeper Rob Oakley. Consecutive fouls by LeTourneau around the 10 minute mark in the first half would lead to back-to-back free kicks for CTX, where Nash Cole would find the ball at his feet in the middle of the box after LETU goalie Miguel Cabrera would be knocked down by another Concordia player. Cole would hammer home what would end up being the only goal of the game at the 10:24 mark. 

Despite giving up the early goal, LeTourneau would make multiple late pushes and play with the ball in the attacking third of the filed, but would be thwarted by the Tornado defense to end the game. 

CTX would hold a 17-7 advantage in shots which included a 8-4 advantage in shots on goal. Each team would take a total of five corner kicks in the game while a total of 29 fouls would be called (18 on LeTourneau, 11 on Concordia Texas). 

Freshman David Sanchez would lead the YellowJackets with two shots on goal in the game while Zachariah Malik and Dustin Gray both fired off one shot on goal. Cabrera would play all 90 minutes in goal, making a total of seven saves. 

American Southwest Conference play continues for LETU next week when the YellowJackets hit the road to Abilene, Texas to start a season-long six-game road swing. LeTourneau will start the trip with a 4 p.m. matchup at Hardin-Simmons University on Thursday, September 21st.
