East Texas Baptist blanks Schreiner 4-0, Mountaineers drop third straight

MARSHALL, Texas — Schreiner University’s men’s soccer team suffered another loss on the road Saturday night, falling 4-0 to East Texas Baptist at Cornish Field. The shutout loss is Schreiner’s third in a row and completes the season series after the teams played to a 1-1 tie at Mountaineer Soccer Field earlier this season.

East Texas Baptist broke through in the 19th minute when Jacob Whittington’s shot was saved by Schreiner goalkeeper Mason Miller, but Dylan Garcia pounced on the rebound to make it 1-0. Whittington struck himself 10 minutes later, finishing a Graylen Bowman feed to make it 2-0 in the 29th minute. Andrew Bradford converted a penalty kick in the 35th minute to send the Tigers into halftime with a 3-0 lead, then added an unassisted goal in the 68th minute for the 4-0 final.

East Texas Baptist dominated the shot chart, out-shooting Schreiner 25-5 overall and 13-1 in shots on goal. Miller made eight saves in the loss, with Schreiner’s defense credited with a ninth team save; East Texas Baptist’s Ryan Lord was needed just once, making one save to preserve the shutout. The only card of the match was a second-half yellow on Schreiner’s Holden Smith in the 86th minute.

The loss is Schreiner’s third straight, following defeats to Hardin-Simmons on Oct. 24 and Mary Hardin-Baylor on Oct. 29.
