LeTourneau Battles, Falls to UT Dallas

LONGVIEW – LeTourneau University's men's soccer team gave the University of Texas at Dallas all it could handle before succumbing, 2-1, Wednesday night.
 
LETU fell to 4-3 overall, 1-2 in the American Southwest Conference. UT Dallas improved to 2-0, 2-0. The same two teams will meet again 7:30 p.m. Saturday at UT Dallas.
 
Nahome Abraham scored in the 35th minute to put the Comets on the board first. That's where it remained at halftime.
 
The Jackets were outshot, 9-0, in the first half.
 
Noah Garcia tied the game in the 53rd minute when he ran down a ball that Comets goalkeeper John Nicknish came out to play. Garcia played it off Nicknish, and then raced ahead to deposit the ball in the empty net.
 
It was Garcia's second goal in as many games.
 
UTD's Hashem Shehata scored the game winner in the 74th minute.
 
The Comets outshot the YellowJackets, 19-2.
 
With UT Dallas leading 1-0, LETU's Chancey Davis had a chance to tie the game in the 50th minute, but Nicknish made a diving stop to his right to save the penalty kick. In both of LeTourneau's ASC losses this season, the opposing keeper has stopped a penalty kick.
 
LETU keeper CJ Leyva made six saves. Nicknish had one.
