ABILENE, Texas - Following a 1-1 draw at Hardin-Simmons on Thursday afternoon, the LeTourneau University men's soccer team scored two second-half goals in a span of 10 minutes to walk away with a 2-1 road win at McMurry University at Wilford Moore Stadium in Abilene, Texas on Saturday, September 23rd. 

The YellowJackets are now 1-4-3 on the year and 1-2-1 in the American Southwest Conference while the War Hawks slipped to 4-3-0 and 1-1-0 in the ASC. 

McMurry would draw first blood with a goal by Josh Erwin at the 14:14 mark off a rebound on a shot by Jesus Sanchez that would be sent to Erwin by Aaron Web. LETU managed to get off four shots in the first half, but would be limited in their opportunities as only two of the shots would be on goal with the War Hawk keeper making saves on both shots. 

A new found level energy would be had by the YellowJackets in the second half, sensing some urgency to tie the game and get back the goal that they had given up in the first half. Kieran Coull would put in a shot at Alex Chavez that wound up being turned away but right back to Zachariah Malik who sent the put back into the back of the net to knot the score at one in the 62nd minute. 

LeTourneau would not be done as just 9:53 later at the 71:51 mark, Eduardo Barron sent a ball into Edgar Sanchez who managed to score his second goal in three days to put the YellowJackets up 2-1 with just 18 minutes remaining in regulation. McMurry would make one last ditch effort and attempt to tie the game and send it into extra-time but a shot by Matt Hernandez would be blocked with five seconds remaining and time would run out to send LETU home victorious. 

LeTourneau would overcome a 6-4 first half deficit in shots to outshoot the War Hawks 11-9 while holding a 6-5 advantage in shots on goal. Dustin Gray led the YellowJackets with three shots off the bench while David Pinilla had two shots. LETU goalie Miguel Cabrera earned his first win of the year between the pipes, playing all 90 minutes and making four saves. 

The YellowJackets will take a week off due to the way that the ASC schedule falls before returning to action on Tuesday, October 3rd at Centenary College in the 2017 non-conference finale.
