Austin College is now 1-11-4 overall and 1-8-2 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

Austin College got a chance to pull even early in the second half when the 'Roos earned a penalty kick, but Dallas keeper Timo Gamueda managed to make the save to keep it a 1-0 game.
That remained the score until the 74th minute of action, when Seth Windsor took the ball along the end line and played the ball back, and Gideon Ibemere was able to find the back of the net to make it a 1-1 game. However, just as the game looked destined for overtime, Nwaeze sent the ball into the middle and Barton Holdridge headed it home to give UD the lead and the win.
