With a large crowd on hand, the Longhorns made quick work of the visiting St. Edward’s Hilltoppers Friday night. Controlling from the first whistle on to the last, Texas’ defense gave up only one shot in the first half, and only three on the game. SEU remained scoreless until late in the fourth quarter. Texas would score early, and score often during the rout.

The Texas offense looked top notch, moving the ball and riding clears tenaciously. Sophomore captain Paul McCloud led in scoring, with 5 goals to his name. Team defense continued to show its strength, notably by not giving up a single shot in man-down situations. Goalie Towers Wilen saved both of the shots he faced. Friday night was another step in the right direction for the young Texas team. The Longhorns will travel to Dallas Friday to face off against conference rival Southern Methodist, a game that could prove to have huge implications in the race for an LSA title.
