PLAINVIEW, TEXAS – Battling back from a pair of one-goal deficits in the first and second stanzas Saturday, Oct. 7, McMurry University wrapped up a 1-0-1 weekend American Southwest Conference tour.
 
The War Hawks, taking their record to 2-5-3 and 1-1-1 in the league, received successful offensive strikes from the sophomore forward tandem of Armando Saldana (Wichita Falls, Texas) in the 62^nd minute and Arik Phillips (Willis Point, Texas) with less than two minutes remaining in regulation. Saldana's goal completed an impressive personal span, as he wound up the Friday/Saturday set with two goals on just three shots on frame.
 
Defensively, sophomore goalkeeper Griffin Cardwell (Plano, Texas) staved off two of the host Yellow Jackets' on-frame tries in the nip-and-tuck league clash, as the two teams were separated by only five shots (16-11) and were dead even on many statistical categories. Cardwell, aided by his back-line teammates, closed out the weekend matches with a 1-0-1 record.
 
McMurry returns home Thursday, Oct. 12, to take on Howard Payne University. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.
