The UT Permian Basin men's soccer team fought back from a 2-0 halftime deficit but a late goal lifted Dallas Baptist to a 3-2 win in Dallas.
Dallas Baptist scored right out of the gate with a goal by Riley Unger in the third minute. Unger would add a another in the 26th minute to make it 2-0. The UTPB defense would hold the score there and go to the second half. Â
Santi Morales would score just 27 seconds into the second half off an assist by
Julius Kracke to cut the lead to 2-1. Morales and
Jorge Murillo would get good looks to tie the game but couldn't covert. That was until
Oscar Canela headed in a rebound in the 58th minute to tie the game at two. The score would stay there until the 88th minute when Abraham Garcia found the back of the net for Dallas Baptist and give them a 3-2 lead that they would hold onto.
Murillo would fire a team-high four shots on goal for the Falcons while
Jameson Sato made five saves in goal.
UTPBÂ returns home next week when they take on current #1 MSU Texas on Thursday before facing Oklahoma Christian on Saturday.
