Scorpions celebrate after winning 2009 Red River Athletic Conference championship for third straight year
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.
