This Easter Weekend, the Longhorns made the short drive down to San Marcos for their final game of the regular season against the Texas State Bobcats. Following two straight losses, the Horns had channeled their hard week of practice toward getting back on track before heading into the playoffs.

In the opening quarter, Texas possessed the ball for the majority of the time. With a tweaked offensive strategy from previous weeks, the Horns brought new movement and energy on the field. The first quarter ended with a 6-1 favor for the Longhorns. As the game progressed, the Horns continued to hold back any Texas State surge while keeping the game in their hands. The Texas defense played physically around the crease and kept the Bobcat offense in constant discomfort. The quick moving Texas offense found many assisted goals and eventually wore down the opposing defense. With six goals, Evans Swann was the game’s leading scorer.

The numbers in fact show that Swann and his teammates played an impressive and thorough game. Back on track, Texas prepares this week for its first post-season match-up against the University of North Texas this Saturday in Dallas. Earlier in the season, Texas defeated UNT in a home game, 13-4. Texas looks for another win in this rematch that would send them to the LSA Championship the following weekend.
