Men’s soccer held a 2-0 advantage over Marshall on Tuesday, Feb. 8 before the Mavs made a big comeback to make it a tight rubber match.
Fortunately for Coach Alexi Upton’s squad, they managed to put in one more goal which proved to be the difference maker as Sulphur Springs won 3-2 over the Mavericks in Marshall.
“Varsity had a very impressive win at Marshall,” Coach Upton said after the win Tuesday night.
The win is the second straight for men’s soccer after starting their district season 0-2.
Uriel Santacruz scored the first goal on the night for either team and was assisted by Angel Andino. Alex Yanez put in the second and final goal in the win over Marshall, assisted by Edgar Ramirez and Osvaldo Arellano respectively.
The win over the Mavericks in Marshall gives Coach Upton’s team a 3-11-2 record (2-2 district).
Sulphur Springs has a huge match-up with Pine Tree (1-1-1) on Friday which would help solidify the Wildcats positioning near the top of District 15-5A.
That game kicks off at Gerald Prim Stadium on Friday, Feb. 11 at 7:15 P.M.
On Tuesday men’s soccer have a bye but follow that up next Friday with a showdown versus Hallsville.
