Los Angeles, CA — Oxy men's soccer won in a tight game against The Master's University on Wednesday afternoon. 

The Tigers were on the road in this matchup and were able to overcome a quick deficit. After the Mustangs scored in the first 1:30 of the game, the Tigers tied it up with a nice goal from Jake Foster. Foster was able to sneak the ball between the opposing goalie's legs to even the score in the 36th minute. 

The score would remain tied for a majority of the game. Nearing the end of the game, in the 86th minute, the Tigers strung together nice passes that left Joey Schwartz wide open to receive a cross from Ryusei Kent. Schwartz did not hesitate to make a strong kick and got the ball into the back of the net for the goal that would ultimately decide the game. 

Oxy was able to complete the comeback and defeat the Mustangs, 2-1.  

A big congratualtions to Head Coach Rod Lafaurie for the victory as it was his 100th win!!!
