The Austin Kangaroos men’s soccer team stole a 2-2 tie out of the jaws of defeat vs TLU Friday night at the Pierce Memorial Complex in Sherman Friday night.
Friday’s game was the SEAC opener for both teams.
The Kangaroos trailed 2-0 with less than 5 minutes remaining in the game.
What, over; nothing is over till we decide it is
The Kangaroos (1-3-2, 0-1-0) stormed back with 2 goals late in the game.
Sam Spencer found the back of the net first. Luis Garza-Rios scored the second Roos goal on a penalty kick with 3:08 left.
Epic!
Roos head coach Taylor Goyen said he was pleased with what’s otherwise been a tough week.
“Injuries, tough loses, going down 2-0; I’ll be honest, since I’ve been coach not too many teams have come back from that,” Coach Goyen said. “I’m just very proud of them. They responded well.
The epic tie will give the Roos some momentum going into their next game Sunday at home vs CTX. The game is the second game of a double header. The woman play CTX at noon followed by the men at 2 p.m.
