Men’s soccer team ties No. 17 Saint Louis in 2OT

The TCU men’s soccer team recorded its first tie of the season Wednesday in a 3-3 double overtime match against Saint Louis at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium.

SLU scored first, but TCU’s first goal came from SLU’s own team. The Billikens scored on themselves, noted as an “own goal,” tying the score at one a piece.

The second goal came from junior Andrew Porteous on an assist from Will Shelton.

The final goal came from a header into the goal from junior John Morrell from freshman Chris Carman. Less than two minutes later the Billikens’ Jason Cole scored off the assist from Mike Kirchhoff.

Early in the second half, goalkeepers coach Jay Fitzgerald was given a red card and ejected from the game after an exchange of words with the officials.

The Frogs defense limited the Billikens to only three goals off of 14 shots-on-goal and 25 shots total, as senior goalkeeper Michael Lahoud had 11 saves in 110 minutes.

“At 3-11 this is just what the doctor ordered,” coach Blake Amos said. “If we lost we can walk away with our heads high, but after this effort we can walk away very proud of our efforts. Our guys played hard and they deserve to feel good about this game.”
