SAN ANTONIO - The Whitman College men's soccer team opened up its three-game Texas road trip against Hardin-Simmons, scoring late but settling for a 1-1 draw to the Cowboys on Thursday evening.
The match, played at Trinity (TX) saw a goalless affair deep into the match until Erick Perez-Cuellar ended the stalemate with a goal in the 85th minute. The Blues drew a foul inside the penalty box and Perez-Cuellar promptly stepped up and converted the spot kick.
Whitman, no strangers to late-game comebacks this season by its opponents, suffered the equalizer only moments later. Halfway into the 89th minute, Jacob Fiol found Omar Estrada who scored past Lucas Haigh in net for the Blues (0-1-1).
All keepers had solid outings in net. Haigh posted six saves in 90 minutes with Carson Null and Reid Applewhite combining for five saves for HSU.
The Blues next visit Southwestern University on Friday, Sept. 8. Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. PT.Â
