An undefeated season would be a success in just about anybody's book.
But the way the 2009 season ended for UTB/TSC left the Scorpion men's soccer team hungrier than ever for even better results.
UTB/TSC finished last season as the only unbeaten team in the country with a 17-0-2 record. However, the Scorpions lost on penalty kicks to Biola University (Calif.), 4-3, after a 2-2 tie in regulation and two overtimes in an NAIA National Men's Soccer Championship Opening Round game at home.
"While we exceeded our goals during the season, we still have a very
bitter taste in our mouths that we did not qualify for the last 16 teams
in the nation," Scorpion head coach
Dan Balaguero
said. "Looking back on the season, going 17-0-2 being ranked 15 and
seeded sixth in the nation and having the best win percentage in the
county is a big time achievement, one the players should be proud of.
