There is no greater way to thank the faculty staff at Texas A&M University-Texarkana than to give them a few hours off work to watch their soccer team host Bethel University (BU) on Faculty Appreciation Day.

The Eagles took control of the ball during the first half, setting the tempo of the game. Although controlling the ball for most of the first half, BU got on the board first in the 12th minute. BU scored from 40 feet out, just out of the reach of GK (Junior) #1 Gabriella Flores. Bethel University GK Danielle Krzyzaniak recorded a shut out in the first half.

During the second half, the Eagles controlled the tempo of the game, but in the 67th minute BU found the back of the net again, giving them a 2-0 lead.

Again, GK Krzyzaniak shut out the Eagles in the second half and the TAMUT Eagles would fall just short to BU, bringing their record to 4-5.

Come cheer on your Eagles soccer team at their next match on Saturday, October 3 at 4 p.m. against Louisiana College for their Homecoming game.
