Richardson, Texas - The second-ranked Tiger men's soccer team defeated the University of Texas-Dallas 1-0 in the second round of the NCAA Division III Playoffs on Sunday evening.

First-year player Kellen Reid produced the only score of the game, with a solo shot in the 23rd minute of play. Reid scored his third goal of the season, and second game-winner, putting the ball in the net past the diving UT-Dallas goalkeeper.

Trinity (23-1-0) advanced to the NCAA round of 16. The Tigers will take on seventh-ranked Loras College late next week at a site to be announced Monday. Last season, host Loras ended Trinity's season in the quarterfinals with a 2-1 win at Dubuque, Iowa.

Sunday's win over UT-Dallas was especially meaningful, since the Comets handed the Tigers their only loss of the season. UT-Dallas beat Trinity 2-1 on September 6 at Georgetown, Texas. Since that game, the Tigers have recorded 20 consecutive victories. Included in the run is a 2-1 win over Hardin-Simmons University in the first round on Saturday. Senior Victor Araujo scored the winning goal with just 21 seconds left on the clock.

Tiger goalkeeper Matt Cardone was effective during his full 90 minutes of play against UT-Dallas, as he posted three saves. The game also marked Trinity's 14th shutout of the year. UT-Dallas completed the season with a 14-5-3 record.

Trinity, led by Head Coach Paul McGinlay, is competing in its 13th straight NCAA tournament.
