Cameron Drackett punched in two goals while four other Tulsa men’s soccer players tallied a goal to give the Golden Hurricane a 6-2 win over crosstown rival Oral Roberts on Thursday night at the Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium.  TU moved to 2-2-1 on the season, while ORU fell to 1-2-1 overall. 

 

“We started out a little flat, I think we were still a little fatigued from last weekend, but we got our first goal off a set piece and then Bradley’s goal on a set piece, so we took advantage of those moments,” Head Coach Tom McIntosh said.  “It was good to score goals.  We’ve been a little bit unlucky in some of our games by hitting crossbars and posts, but tonight we were able to score six and created a couple of other good chances.”

 

Drackett put Tulsa on the board at the 17:46 mark off a pass from Kay Duit, but ORU evened the score in the 33^rd minute.  Bradley Bourgeois put TU up once again just under five minutes later as he headed in a score from three yards out on the left side.  Drackett gave the Hurricane a two-goal cushion heading into the break as he one-time the ball into the back of the net for his second goal in the 42^nd minute.

 

In the second frame, Juan Sanchez scored his first collegiate goal off a pass from Zach Jackson in the 68^th minute and then Saari drilled in a penalty kick at the 72:46 mark.  Aymar Sigue scored on a combination from Jacob Gooden and Sanchez in the 81^st minute, but ORU’s Colton Haskin tallied the last goal also in the 81^st minute.

 

Tulsa had a 15-11 lead in shots, including an 8-6 advantage in shots on goal, while ORU had a 7-5 lead in corner kicks.

 

Drackett had a team-best five shots, while Bourgeois, Saari and Sigue each had two attempts.  Jake McGuire logged 80:28 between the posts and Brandon Hanat played the final 9:32 in goal.  The duo each had two saves and one goal-against.

 

Tulsa will return to action on Sunday, September 13 against Portland.  Game time is set for 1:00 pm at the Hurricane Stadium.
