SEGUIN � Four different players scored Thursday as the University of Houston-Victoria Jaguars men�s soccer team collected its first victory with a 4-0 decision over the Texas Lutheran Bulldogs.

Originally scheduled for Victoria, the game had to be moved to Seguin due to unplayable conditions with a wet field.

Stiven Ospina (Victoria) scored one goal and had two assists and Andrew Perez (Corpus Christi) added a goal and an assist to lead the UHV offensive attack.

The Jaguars (1-2) wasted little time in getting on the board as Ryan Hastie (England) blasted in a shot from 12 yards out on a cross from Perez on the left side at the 1:15 mark.

Tony Garcia (Portland) scored off a header from eight yards out off an assist from Ospina in the 34th minute as the Jaguars took a 2-0 lead into the half.

Ospina fired in a shot off an assist from Abel Farias (Edinburg) late in the 66th minute and Perez added the icing with a header into the left corner off an assist from Ospina in the 79th minute.

�The guys went out determined from the start and played a really good game,� UHV head soccer coach Adrian Rigby said.

Seth Prochaska (Inez) was in goal for the Jaguars� first shutout.

The UHV soccer teams jump back into action Sunday in Kerrville against Schreiner University. The women�s game is at 2 p.m. and the men�s at 4 p.m.
