HOUSTON, TEXAS – A first half offensive blitzkrieg by home-standing University of St. Thomas was the storyline Friday, Sept. 22.
 
Beginning two road contests in a row against future fellow Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference members UST and Texas Lutheran, head coach Marquis Muse's McMurry University crew pelted four shot attempts at the Celts at the Houston Sports Park pitch. Sophomore forward Armando Saldana (Wichita Falls, Texas) aimed twice to lead the way but neither found the mark during a tough-luck 6-0 loss at the hands of the SCAC perennial standouts.
 
UST got their high-flying offensive attack going quickly, tallying two goals in the first 15 minutes- and didn't look back. The hosts held a 21-4 shots advantage, with freshman goalkeeper Brandon Walker (Royse City, Texas) producing three saves.
 
McMurry (1-3-2) visits Seguin, Texas, to match up with Texas Lutheran University Sunday, Sept. 24. Kickoff is 2 p.m. at HEB Soccer Complex.
