Austin College Comeback Falls Short

SHERMAN, Texas - After trailing 3-0 at the break, the Austin College men's soccer team tallied twice in the second half but the 'Roos came up short in their comeback bid against Colorado College in a 3-2 match. The 'Roos are now 2-8 overall on the year with the defeat.

After 20 scoreless minutes to open things up, the Tigers broke through with a goal by Sajjan Singh, who took a long through-ball and finished inside the left post at the 22:19 mark. The score remained 1-0 until the Tigers tallied again, this time off the foot of Gabe Kellman, who finished from point blank range off of a corner kick by Alex Meyerhoff in the 36th minute of action. Kellman found the net again just over six minutes later, putting one away inside the right post to make it 3-0 heading into halftime.

Austin College came out as the aggressor in the second half and it didn't take the 'Roos long to get on the scoreboard, as Louis Catchpole took a pass across the box from Logan Newman and finished inside the left post at the 51:21 mark, and just 76 seconds later, Catchpole found the net again on a nearly identical play, this time with the assist coming off the foot of Kenneth Kienle

However, that is as close as things would get the rest of the way, as Austin College was unable to find the equalizer. The Tigers finished the match with a 19-9 shot advantage, and Connor Tullis made four saves for the 'Roos while Keleher Felton stopped a pair of shots for Colorado College.
