MARSHALL, Texas – Delivering an offensive clinic on Saturday night scoring five goals in a commanding fashion, East Texas Baptist University shut out Centenary College, 5-0, in non-conference men's soccer action at Cornish Field. ETBU is now 5-3-0 and won three matches in a row recording their second shutout of the year.
ETBU wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, as

Aiden Fortenberry. The Tigers doubled their lead in the 28th minute when
Bryan Escalera found the back of the net to give ETBU a 2-0 advantage heading into halftime.
The Tigers carried their momentum into the second half, striking early once again.
Lucas Arreguin scored twice, first in the 48th minute on an assist from
Lars Clark and again in the 62nd minute after another well-placed pass from Fortenberry — his second assist of the night.
Dawson Lopez capped the scoring in the 83rd minute with a goal assisted by
Gavin Sotelo.
