Tigers Strike Early but Fall to OKBU

Box Score ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – Tigers take early lead on Oklahoma Baptist but fall in the end 3-1 at Kluck Field.
 
Senior Hector Duron started the game off right for the Tigers as he launched in a shot from 25 yards out over the goalie's head. The goal came off of an assist by Abraham Lazo and gave Ouachita the early 1-0 advantage.
 
However, the scoring for the Tigers ended there as the Bison tied up the contest late in the first half. Off of a free kick from 35 yards out Oklahoma Baptist headed a ball in putting the game at 1-1.  
 
Ouachita never gave up even though Oklahoma Baptist put in two quick goals out of halftime. With two minutes remaining Matt Heffernan received a penalty kick. He fooled the goalie on which direction he kicked the ball but sailed it over the top right of the goal.
 
The Tigers added in 15 shots on the day. The match was a clean one until the second half where three yellow cards were dealt out, one to Ouachita and two to Oklahoma Baptist.
 
In goal for the Tigers was Matt Day who played the whole 90 minutes of the match. He faced 23 shots from the Bison with 14 of those shots being on goal. He accounted for eleven saves in the game.
 
The Tigers return to action on Saturday as they face off against Southern Nazarene at 2 p.m. at Kluck Field. Come out and support your Tigers!
