SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Southwestern’s men’s soccer team almost knocked off #9 Trinity on Saturday night, but eventually fell to the Tigers 3-2 in double overtime. With the loss SU falls to 5-9 on the season and 1-5 in the SCAC.

Trinity was the first on the board in the 27th minute on a goal by Grossman, assisted by DeCosta, and the Tigers would retain the 1-0 lead going into halftime.

Southwestern jumped to action in the second half, scoring six minutes into the period when David Lozano found Alex Keller who evened the score 1-1.

The Tigers took the lead again just six minutes later after a hand-ball in the box resulted in a penalty kick that gave Grossman his second goal of the game.

Trinity seemed to have the win secured until David Lozano set up teammate Evan Perkins (pictured) who found the back of the net with just under five minutes remaining to even the count at 2-2 and send the game into overtime.

The Pirates went on the attack in the overtime period, sensing they had the Tigers on the ropes, but narrowly missed the goal on a couple of scoring opportunities.

During the second overtime, Trinity’s fifth double-overtime match of the season, TU was able to take advantage of their 11th corner kick of the match as Naderi found Llobet for the game-winning goal.

Southwestern was out-shot 26-13 and had seven fewer corners (11-3) than the Tigers. Sophomore keeper Nick Pierce recorded nine saves, while TU’s Johnson had four.

The Pirates head out of town on their final road trip of the season this weekend. They will take on Sewanee on Friday at 5:00 pm and Oglethorpe on Sunday at 11:00 am.
