EDINBURG, TX -- Jacksonville and UTRGV played to a 1-1 draw Thursday (Sept. 12) on the road at UTRGV Soccer and Track & Field Complex.

The Dolphins moved to 1-3-2 overall following the tie. An early goal by UTRGV gave them the lead, with JU's Oscar Resano answering at the end of the first half for the night's final goal for both sides.

How it Happened

Kgodiso Sukati (UTRGV) scored in the second minute, assisted by Cesar Baltazar, getting the Vaqueros off to a hot start on home turf.

The Dolphins evened the game on Resano's second goal of the season in the 40th minute, assisted by Paul Danner. The 1-1 score held to the end of the game. 

Head Coach Ali Simmons
"We started flat, some of that can be taken into consideration with travel, but we don't want to make excuses and have to be better out the gate. Once the game settled we played our way into it and felt like the better side overall. Great header by Oscar and we look forward to starting conference next weekend."
