Schreiner blanks McMurry 2-0, extends win streak to three

Schreiner University’s men’s soccer team shut out McMurry 2-0 on Thursday at Mountaineer Soccer Field, winning its third straight match and completing the season series after the teams played to a scoreless tie here Oct. 3.

Cameron Hoschar broke the deadlock in the 19th minute, finishing an assist from Cody Smith. Gabe Zagastizabal added an unassisted insurance goal in the 70th minute to make it 2-0. McMurry actually held the edge in shots, 15-12, and in shots on goal, 7-5, but goalkeeper Mason Miller turned away all seven shots he faced to preserve the shutout; McMurry’s Enrique Cabello made three saves in the loss. Only one card was shown, a second-half yellow to McMurry’s Audrick Moreno.

The win is Schreiner’s third in a row, following back-to-back victories over Howard Payne, and moves the Mountaineers to 6-4-3 overall and 4-1-2 in American Southwest Conference play. McMurry falls to 1-12-1 overall and 0-7-1 in the ASC.
