Stars hold off Lions in 2-1 road win

WAXAHACHIE, Texas - The Oklahoma City Men's Soccer team prevailed in a tight match on the road against Nelson coming away with a 2-1 victory. 

Oklahoma City 2, Nelson 1

'1 - Henrique Duarte; Assisted by David Imbert
'82 - Hannan Ashraf; Assisted by David Imbert

How it Happened
Oklahoma City wasted very little time before scoring as a corner kick from David Imbert came in right to Henrique Duarte who sent it right in goal to take a 1-0 lead just one minute into the contest. OCU had just two shots on-goal in the second half both coming in the final 10 minutes as the attempt from Hannan Ashraf in the 82nd minute went in to extend the Stars lead to 2-0. Nelson outshot Oklahoma City in the second half and found the back of the net with three minutes to go cutting the lead in half with little time to spare. Neither side could get off another shot attempt before time expired allowing OCU to hold on to earn the 2-1 victory on Tuesday night. 

Game Notes
  • The win moves OCU to 10-1-2 overall and 5-1-1 in SAC play. 
  • Junior from Brazil Henrique Duarte nailed his first goal of the season and second of his career on Tuesday night as the Stars defender helped keep Nelson off the board for almost the entirety of the night. 
  • Freshman Hannan Ashraf scored his third goal of the season finding the net for the first time since the 8-0 victory over Our Lady of the Lake back on Aug.29. 
  • David Imbert brought his season assist total to nine after posting a pair of assists for the second straight game and third time this season. 
  • Oklahoma City remains a perfect 13-0 against Nelson in the all-time series dating back to 2013.
