cross from teammate Edward “Teddy” Oyarce (Miami, Fla.). Oyarce, a sophomore midfielder made a great move from the corner to give senior captain Lundy his

Ockleford (St. Peter’s Port, Guernsey, U.K.) netted his third collegiate goal off a free kick outside the eighteen yard box. This placed Tech at the
advantage for their much needed conference win.
