Last Time Out
Last Saturday, the Tommies earned a win against St. Cloud on South Field.
St. Thomas men's soccer started strong with a goal just two minutes into the match as Alejandro Giner netted his first goal in Purple. Capturing momentum early, St. Thomas kept up the offensive pressure for much of the game. The Tommies held the one goal advantage up until the midpoint of the first frame as St. Cloud State tallied its first score of the match.
Once again, the Purple took control early in the half. Faris Colic recorded his second goal of the season off a pass from Alejandro Giner and Jorge Perez in the 49th minute to put St. Thomas back in the lead.
After the Huskies once again found the equalizer, St. Thomas continued its no quit pressure, responding quickly to regain the lead. Jorge Perez recorded his first goal of the season and fourth point of the game, posting the game-winning goal to lift the Tommies to a 3-2 victory on Saturday afternoon.
St. Thomas totaled season-high seven shots on goal, holding the Huskies to just three during 90 minutes of play.
