Press Release

Rams power past Wiley College, 2-0
October 6, 2004

Box Score
     
     MARSHALL, Texas -
Junior Jose Melendez scored his sixth goal of the season to lead Texas Wesleyan over conference-rival Wiley College, 2-0, Wednesday afternoon at Wildcat Field.

     Texas Wesleyan (4-6-1, 3-1 RRAC) opened the scoring in the 10th minute when Melendez received a through ball from junior Chase Stephens and beat the Wiley goalkeeper one-on-one. Junior Rene Mercado put the Rams ahead, 2-0, when he scored from 30 yards out off of a free-kick. That would be all of the scoring as the Rams were unable to finish any of their scoring chances the rest of the way.

     Texas Wesleyan outshot the Wildcats, 15-9 and sophomore goalkeeper Thomas Hansen picked up five saves on the day.

     "We dominated the play today with great ball movement," head coach Steve Jones said. "We just couldn't finish today and their keeper did a good job against us."

     Texas Wesleyan returns to action Saturday when they travel to take on Sooner-Conference member Oklahoma City. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. Oklahoma City defeated the Rams last season in Fort Worth, 3-0.
