nd half giving up 4 unanswered goals to lose to Texas Wesleyan 4-1 at Martin Field.
The Tigers scored 1
st with a goal from
Marco Cherchi at 8:58 of the 1
st half. Both teams exchanged shots, but the Rams were able to sneak the equalizer past TJ Foster at 38:52, bringing the match to a 1-1 tie at the end of the 1
st half.
The Tigers had no answer for the Rams Mathis Guffroy, who was the story of the 2
nd half where he scored a hat trick, scoring 3 goals between the 48
th and 65
th minutes. Guffroy also assisted on the other Rams goal in the 1
st half.
The Tigers (5-5-2, 1-2-1) play next at home against the John Brown University Golden Eagles (6-1-4, 3-1). Game day is next Tuesday, October 15th, with a kickoff set for 5:30pm. Game can be seen on the SAC Sports Network.
