     FORT WORTH, Texas - Freshman forward Christian Villasenor scored three goals and assisted on another to lead the Texas Wesleyan men's soccer team past the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma 5-2, at Martin Field on Saturday afternoon.
     "The team's play was surprising," Texas Wesleyan head coach Steve Jones said. "USAO is a great team that finished in the top of the Sooner Conference last season. Our guys have been working hard and feeding off of one another's hardwork. This was a great win for us."
     Texas Wesleyan (1-0) got on the board early as sophomore Rene Mercado scored in the ninth minute on a penalty kick. That was all of the scoring in the first half as both teams missed numerous opportunities.
     The Rams broke the game open in the second half when Villasenor scored his first goal and Mercado followed with his second of the game in the 68th minute and 70th minute respectively.
     USAO (0-1) fought back with a goal of their own when forward Nene Coulibally put one past freshman goalkeeper Steven Deering to cut the deficit to 3-1.
     Villasenor then put the match out of reach with two more goals down the stretch.
     "Christian really stepped up for us," Jones said. "He is a small kid but he played big for us today. We are expected great things from all of our young players."
     Coulibally scored his second goal of the game in the waning minutes for the final margin.
     The Rams will be back in action Aug. 29, when they travel to Marshall, Texas to take on East Texas Baptist at 4 p.m.
