victory over the Ouachita Baptist Tigers Saturday afternoon in Arkadelphia,
AR.

(3-0) in the 32nd minute, and Rommy Kassim added a goal on a penalty
kick in the 44th minute, which ended the scoring for the game. The
Patriots took 22 shots in the game, led by Zane Hanson’s six,and
nine shots were on goal. Kassim and Hatcher led the
Patriots with two each. Patriot goalkeepers Josh Wilson and Geoff
Sherman combined for the shutout, as Wilson saved two shots in the
first half and Sherman faced no shots on goal in the second half.
Ouachita Baptist (0-3-1) mustered only eight shots
in the game against the Patriot defense, and they were held to one
shot in the second half after losing two players to red cards early
in the second period.
Both squads return to action on Tuesday when they
travel to LeTourneau University in Longview; the women play at 5:00
p.m. and the men follow at 7:00 p.m.
