The Pilots, Marcos Carrillo was issued a yellow card at 4:13 into the game as was later ejected after receiving a red card at 21:51. This left the Pilots one man down for the rest of the game.

OCU’s Alex Gang had a breakaway opportunity but LSUS keeper, Celaya, kept him from scoring as he was issued a yellow card at 79:39. Gang was said to have been in the box when the foul was called and this awarded him a penalty kick. Gang scored the third and final goal of the game on his penalty kick.
Head Coach, Jed Jones, “We played a great game against a great team. There were some calls that did not go our way and if they had, things might have been different. But it is what it is. Our guys played hard for all ninety minutes and for the most part a man down. OCU is a great team and we were with them step for step.”
The next game for the Pilots is Monday, September 7th, in Marshall, Texas at East Texas Baptist University at 7 p.m.
