Crimson Storm Rally Past Bearcats in 2-1 Win

Urquiza and Decker net first career goals to lift SNU over McKendree

CLAREMORE, Okla. - Southern Nazarene Men's Soccer picked up a big 2-1 win over McKendree on Wednesday afternoon, rallying from behind to grab the victory over the Bearcats.

McKendree (0-2-1, 0-0-0 GLVC) struck first just 14 minutes into the game to take an early 1-0 lead. The Crimson Storm (1-2-0, 0-0-0GAC) worked to create chances in the opening half, with looks from Luis Urquiza and Lucas Beja, but went into the break trailing 1-0.

SNU kept pressing after halftime, forcing saves and testing the Bearcat defense. Junior Duran nearly found the equalizer with a shot to the bottom corner that was stopped by the keeper, and Diego Zamora added another chance soon after. 

The breakthrough came 23 minutes into the second half when Luis Urquiza scored his first career goal, finishing off a pass from Braxton Decker to tie the match at 1-1. Just minutes later, Decker delivered a moment of his own, netting his first career goal off an assist from Beja to give the Crimson Storm a 2-1 advantage.

SNU continued to apply pressure late, with looks from Decker and Duran, and the defense stood strong to close out the 2-1 win.
