WICHITA FALLS, Texas (November 3, 2017) – Rodrigo Zuniga equalized in the second half but a late penalty was too much to overcome as the Texas A&M International University men's soccer team fell 2-1 to No. 3 Midwestern State in the Heartland Conference Semifinals on Friday night at Stang Park. The Dustdevils finish the season at 10-5-3 while MSU improved to 17-0-2.
 
R. Zuniga had three of the Dustdevils seven shots with Michael Iskander chipping in two of his own. Carlos Herrera (9-3-3) made two saves while facing 11 shots.
 
Shots were at a premium in the first half with MSU holding a 4-2 advantage but that didn't stop Herrera from making an amazing save on the 27^th minute. The San Leandro, Calif. native was in the right spot at the right time to punch away MSU's Scott Doney's header from point blank range.
 
The second half was a much more offensive affair as the Mustangs struck first courtesy of a header from Laurence Chamberlain in the 51^st minute before the Dustdevils equalized in the 69^th on a goal from R. Zuniga off a deflection from Iskander's shot from just outside the box.
 
MSU retook the lead on a penalty kick from Patrick Fitzgerald at 81:24 just minutes after TAMIU went down to 10 men. The Dustdevils had one final chance to tie the match for a second time but Iskander's free kick in the 89^th minutes wasn't on target.
