ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – The Ouachita men's soccer team picked up a convincing 4-1 victory over Harding on Tuesday afternoon at Kluck Field.

A barrage of shots rained down upon the Harding (6-3-1, 1-2 GAC) goalkeeper as Ouachita (4-4-1, 2-1 GAC) had one of their best offensive performances of the year. The Tigers released a bevy of shots in a matter of moments, Noa Cuellar (Frisco, Texas) took a pass from Blain Hickman (Royse City, Texas) and scored the opening goal of the game in the 12^th minutes of action.  

A lot of back-and-forth began to ensue for the two squads until the 35^th minute of action. The Tigers took advantage of a fast break opportunity; Jakob Cuellar (Frisco, Texas) crossed the ball to the middle of the pitch and Matthew Wallak (Keller, Texas) finished it off with a rocket of a shot into the Harding goal.

The Tigers backline held strong in the opening half and Ouachita went into halftime with a 2-0 advantage over Harding.

Ouachita came out firing in the opening moments of the second half. The Tigers recorded three shots and a corner kick in the first five minutes of the half. Abraham Lazo (Irving, Texas) then connected with Hickman for the Tigers third goal of the game.

The two teams fought to a stalemate for much of the second half. The Harding offense seemed to have a bit of a spark left when they scored in the 74^th minute.
Ouachita answered though a few moments later with a goal by Colten Clark (Coppell, Texas) to make it 4-1. Ouachita goalkeeper Matt Gutierrez (Houston, Texas) finished the game with three saves.

The Tigers will be back in action on October 11, at Kluck Field against Oklahoma Baptist. For more information on the men's soccer team, follow the official social media accounts of Ouachita Athletics.
