RRAC notebook:

LSUA's Ben McCarron notched a pair of game-winning goals against NAU and TAMUV. He scored his first career hat trick at NAU.
OLLU forward Nicolas Murgas helped OLLU to a 3-3 tie against the University of the Southwest. Murgas had a hat trick and scored all three goals against USW. OLLU did not play Saturday as the game against Texas College was cancelled.
NAU's Jose Carlos Dos Santos' leadership shown this week was amazing earning him a spot back in the starting lineup and following that move up with a goal. He is lauded as keeping his team under control by being a true champion of character.
TAMUT midfielder Jose Narvaez netted the equalizer goal that sparked the Eagles' momentum to take down last year's RRAC tournament champion, the Wildcats of Louisiana Christian University and earning the Eagles' first win in program history over LCU. Narvaez proves to be a spark for the Eagles' offense each time he hits the pitch.
