KERRVILLE, Texas – LeTourneau University Men's Soccer falls to Schreiner University 1-0 in the second game of opening weekend despite an evenly matched pitch.

"Tough match!" Coach Matthew Haesecke reported after the game. "We were evenly matched teams. We played significantly better than yesterday. The heat definitely affected our play in the second half, but I think we have taken a positive step forward. Lost on a late, very controversial penalty."

The YellowJackets fought hard, but an unfortunate call in the box led to a penalty kick. Despite a valiant effort by goalkeeper Miguel Cabrera, the Mountaineers were able to capitalize on the opportunity.

The YellowJacket defense proved to be a struggle as they drew the Mountaineers offsides five times throughout the match. Additionally, LETU limited Schreiner to only four shots on goal while feeding the ball to the LeTourneau offense who would post three shots on goal.

The YellowJackets are now 0-2 on the season, but will look to improve their record in their first home match of the season against Southwestern Assemblies of God University on September 5 at 7 P.M. at the Joyce Family Athletic Village on the campus of LeTourneau University.
