Mighty Lizards Finish First Half of Conference Play in a Draw at USUE

Box Score Price, UT - Truckee Meadows Community College Men's Soccer concluded this season's first half of Region XVIII action in a match at Utah State Eastern, ultimately tying the Golden Eagles 2-2.

While the first 45 minutes remained scoreless, plenty of back and forth action was seen from the Mighty Lizards. Offensively, TMCC held possession for a solid chunk of time which ultimately turned into a number of forced corner kick opportunities. Defensively, goalkeeper Jacob Rivera Gomez remained a force to be reckoned with, stopping numerous shots on goal and being a vocal presence for his back line.

Truckee Meadows emerged from the second half eager to get some points on the scoreboard, and they did just that. In the 62nd Minute, it was second-year Lizard Mario Alarcon finding the back of the net for his first goal in a Mighty Lizards uniform. Federico Bernabe was credited with the assist. Just three minutes later, USUE found themselves with a PK opportunity after a foul was committed by a Truckee Meadows defender inside the box. It was Owen Gaisford who would be the one converting the PK for a goal, evening up the game for the Golden Eagles.

Possession continued to go back and forth for the Mighty Lizards until the 70th minute when Guillermo Hernandez, who had just subbed on minutes before, found himself putting the ball in the back of the net to give TMCC a one-goal advantage. That advantage would prove to be short lived, as USUE found themselves with an opportunity to tie the match in the 85th minute. Golden Eagle Brennen Lamont would be the one credited with the game-tying goal, which came around the same time Snow College recorded their game winning goal against the Mighty Lizard Men just two days before.

Goalkeeper Jacob Rivera Gomez finished the match for the Mighty Lizards with three saves. Both teams committed 14 fouls across 90 minutes, and USUE found themselves with five yellow cards at the end of the match in comparison to TMCC's two.

Truckee Meadows Men's Soccer will kick off the second half of conference play on Saturday, Oct. 5 at College of Southern Idaho, where they'll look to avenge a 2-1 loss at the start of the season. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m., and the match will be streamed live on the Scenic West Network.
