Men's Soccer Shuts Out Austin College, 6-0, Behind Green's Career Day

SHERMAN, Texas -- Texas Lutheran men's soccer wrapped its season in banner fashion shutting out SCAC foe Austin College, 6-0, at Jack R. Pierce Memorial Soccer Complex in Sherman, Texas.

Luis Green (Monterrey, Mexico/Smithson Valley), Texas Lutheran's all-time leader in goals and points, ended his legendary career with one last career day Sunday afternoon. The senior forward scored a program record five goals - the first "glut" of his career - surpassing the previous single-match record of four goals held by several Bulldogs, including Green himself. Green would also add an assist on Marco Roman's 60th-minute goal to bring his final point tally to 11 - a new program record - surpassing Roger Gomez's previous record of nine points in a match. The five goals are the second most in a match in SCAC history and the 11 points are the third most in a single match. The five goals brings Green's final career tally to 81 goals to finish tied for tenth all-time in NCAA Division-III men's soccer history.

Green got his first of the day at the 2:11 mark - the ninth fastest goal in Texas Lutheran program history - beating the Austin College goalkeeper one-on-one to get Texas Lutheran on the board. Green scored seven minutes later on a long run, scoring from five yards out. Green would keep his scoring barrage going in the 23rd-minute with his third unassisted goal of the match to give Texas Lutheran a 3-0 lead. Green would secure a first half haul in the 38th minute - beating the Austin College keeper once again as Texas Lutheran poured it on - taking the 4-0 lead into halftime.

Texas Lutheran continued to find the back of the net as Marco Roman (Houston/Lamar) scored in the 60th-minute via an assist from Green.

Green finished the day in the 82nd minute with another unassisted goal to bring the match to its final score of 6-0.

TLU outshot Austin College 20-8 overall, with a 12-1 advantage in shots on goal. Senior Caleb Weed (San Antonio/Warren) made his final start in net recording a save in his lone shot defended. Weed ends his season with a 0.47 goals against average - the second lowest in program history. Weed finishes third in program history in career goalkeeper wins (26) and goals against average (1.33 GAA) and as the single-season leader in goalkeeper wins with 14 in the 2019 season.

The Bulldogs will graduate five seniors - Nestor Ayala (Dorado, Puerto Rico/Wagner), Hunter Blaha (Caldwell/Caldwell), Luis Green, Marco Roman, and Caleb Weed - all members of TLU Men's Soccer's 2019 SCAC Championship team. We thank them for all of their contributions to the Texas Lutheran men's soccer program.
