Here’s your wrap-up for this past week, along with this week’s schedule. AC’s soccer teams suffered a pair of heartbreaking losses to nationally ranked Tyler teams on Wednesday, but bounced back with big wins over Blinn College on Saturday.
In addition, AC Softball held its first-ever Alumni Game Sunday at the Lady Roadrunner softball complex in Lufkin.
AC SOCCER:
Both AC Soccer teams suffered excruciating heart-breaking losses on Wednesday against nationally ranked Tyler Junior College teams.
The No. 11 Lady Roadrunners, for the second time this season, pushed the No. 2 Lady Apaches to overtime before falling 1-0 – the second time the Lady ‘Runners have fallen to the higher-ranked Lady Apaches in extra periods this season.
On the same night, the No. 5 Roadrunners fell to the Apaches 2-1 on a late Tyler JC goal.
On Saturday, however, both AC teams bounced back with home wins over Blinn College. The Lady Roadrunners used goals from Marlene Flores and Emilie Dueck to blank the Lady Bucs 2-0 at the Larry Phillips Family Sports Complex on the AC campus.
In the nightcap, the No. 5 Roadrunners took down the Bucs by a 4-2 score, with Juan Lopez scoring twice and Andre Rich and Omar Mora adding goals in the win.
AC’s soccer teams will next play at home on Wednesday, Oct. 19 vs. Northeast Texas Community College.
