UTD Takes Out Frustrations On Austin College In Final Warmup For Conference

Comets Shut Out Kangaroos, 5-0, in Home Opener

STEPHEN AMBROSE HAD A GOAL & TWO ASSISTS.
Box Score RICHARDSON, TX - The UT Dallas men's soccer team knew it was better than its 1-3 start. Losing three tight games to three nationally-ranked teams in your first four games can do that to you.

On Tuesday night, the Comets returned home to play their first game of the season on familiar turf, and took out the frustrations on the visiting Austin College Kangaroos with a dominating 5-0 romp.

UTD got impressive performances from both senior Kevin White, who scored two goals, and newcomer Stephen Ambrose who had the first goal at 19:57 off a curving, 30-yard free kick, then assisted on both White goals. Senior Bruno Alonso (pictured above) escaped up the middle for the team's second goal less than five minutes after Ambrose's game-winner. Freshman Jonny Nevit capped off the scoring with just six minutes left in the match as UTD Coach Jack Peel was able to give his freshman class some much-needed playing time.

UTD travels to the University of the Ozarks, last season's regular season American Southwest Conference championships, Saturday to open conference play.
