PIRATES DOMINATE IN 8-1 VICTORY OVER UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS
Posted: Oct 04, 2009

On a wet and sloppy day, the Pirates dominated every aspect of the match to defeat the University of Dallas 8-1.  Southwestern was led by seniors Josh Spencer and Checo Carreon and Junior Alex Keller. 

The story of the day was the dominance by the Pirate front line.  The Pirates took their first shot in the 9th minute and never looked back.  In the next 4 minutes the Pirates would take 5 shots on goal.  Senior Checo Carreon blistered four balls toward the goal during in the short amount of time.  Carreon's final shot rang of the right post where junior midfielder Tom Holleman had positioned himself perfectly to score the first goal of the game.  Southwestern would take a 2-0 lead in the 41st minute on senior forward Josh Spencer's first goal of the game.  A well played first half in sloppy conditions would end 2-0.

The second half started out with hope for the University of Dallas when, in the 54th minute, Ryan Meske finished off a bouncing ball in the box to pull within one.  This, however, was the closest the Pirates would let the game get.  Six minutes later, Dallas keeper Paul Stauduhar made a diving save on a Checo Carreon offering at the goal.  The well coached Pirates were on the spot and Josh Spencer scored his second goal of the game on the rebound from the keeper.  Spencer completed his hat trick 2 minutes later thanks to an assist from Tom Holleman.  Tony Holzbach's 74th minute goal and Alex Keller's 77th, 87th, and 89th minute goals polished off an already impressive day for the Pirates.

At the end of the day, the Pirates amassed 27 shot and 9 corner kicks while the University of Dallas was allowed just 7 shots and 1 corner kick.  Josh Spencer scored his 5th, 6th, and 7th goals of the season.  Keller scored his 3rd, 4th, and 5th goals of the season.  Senior forward Checo Carreon had four shots on goal and two assists.  Holzbach's and Holleman's goals were their 1st on the year.

The Pirates improve to 5-4 and will travel to Jackson, MS to take on the Millsaps Majors on October 9 in SCAC action followed by a bout with Birmingham Southern on October 11.
