KERRVILLE, Texas â€" Alejandro Martinez scored the game's only goal and the Texas Lutheran men's soccer team wrapped up its regular season on a high note with a 1-0 shutout on the road Friday against Schreiner.
 
Martinez (Round Rock, Texas), a freshman forward, gave the Bulldogs the lead in the 28th minute of play. The goal was set up by junior Andrew Welsch (Amarillo, Texas), his first assist of the season.
 
The goal was Martinez's fourth of the year, good for third most on the team. He has shown a propensity for coming up with goals when his team needs them the most too, with three of the four goals being of the game-winning variety.
 
The shutout improved the Bulldogs record to 10-7 on the year and 7-7 in SCAC competition. They had already secured the fourth-place spot in the conference standings and will go up against Austin College in the quarterfinals of the SCAC Men's Championship hosted by Southwestern in Georgetown, Texas.
 
The loss dropped Schreiner to 4-12-3 overall on the year and 4-8-2 in conference action.
 
Friday's game was controlled throughout by Texas Lutheran, which held Schreiner to just two total shots on the day. Only one of those shots was on target, making for a relatively stress-free day from Bulldog keeper Jonathan Michael (Coppell, Texas). The sophomore made one save in notching his seventh shutout of the season.
 
The Bulldogs ended up outshooting Schreiner 12-2 while tallying four shots on target. Both Irving Lopez (New Braunfels, Texas) and Isaac Lopez (Round Rock, Texas) notched three shots, tying for the team lead in that category.
