Schreiner (1-2) enters off a mixed opening week: a season-opening loss at Trinity, followed by a 1-1 showing at the Trinity National Invitational in San Antonio, where the Mountaineers beat Redlands in four sets before being swept by Gustavus Adolphus.
Nico Lopez led the Mountaineers, finishing third overall in 16:18.70 — the runner-up time among scoring competitors, 21 seconds behind individual scoring champion Jeremiah Calderon of UMHB (15:59.92).
First-year coach Keith Allen didn't sugarcoat his team's first outing. Asked what went well, he said: "We scored more points than the opposing team." Asked what didn't: "Everything else. We've got to clean up a lot of stuff."
The Schreiner University football program made its historic return on Saturday night at Antler Stadium.
LeTourneau dominated the shot chart, outshooting Schreiner 16-4 overall and eight to two on shots on goal, and won the corner-kick battle 7-2.
The Mountaineers open the season at 6 p.m. Saturday against Austin College at Antler Stadium, the first of five home dates this fall under a new agreement that lets Schreiner share Kerrville ISD's stadium with Tivy High School.
Schreiner won 25-20, 25-16, 17-25, 25-23, improving to 1-1 in non-conference play. Redlands, the California-based opponent, fell to 0-1. It was Schreiner's second match in three days in San Antonio, following Tuesday's four-set loss to Trinity.
Schreiner answered in the 24th minute when Lewis Patterson scored off a Stephano Zagastizabal assist, cutting the deficit to 3-1 at halftime.
It was the kind of loss that could define a season. Instead, Schreiner is trying to make it the reason for the next one.
