Soccer Shuts Out Beavers
ORANGE, Calif. (Oct. 18, 2008) – Termaine Tucker led the Occidental offense against Caltech as he was responsible for two goals and an assist in the Tigers’ 3-0 SCIAC victory on the road today.
In the 12th minute Tucker took a straight shot on goal to put the Tigers up 1-0, marking the ultimate winning goal. Neither team would add to the score before the half.
Just 10 minutes into the final half of action Tucker found an open Fran Taylor who sent the ball into the back of the net with his team-leading tenth goal of the season to give Oxy a two-goal lead.
A minute later Tucker again scored, adding insurance in the victory.
Andrew Larkin made four saves in front of the cage while his counterpart, Marcus Lucas, blocked nine Oxy shots.
The Tigers improve to 6-5-2 overall, 6-3-1 in SCIAC play.
Occidental will be back out on the field on Wednesday when they travel to Claremont to take on Pomona-Pitzer Colleges at 4:00 p.m. in what should be a battle. Earlier this season Oxy defeated PP 3-2 at home.
