“We had ball possessions for the first five minutes and put three points on the board,” said second-year head coach Shaun Potgieter after the match. “Life controlled possession for the next 35 minutes of the half and capitalized on some crucial calls by the match officials.”
The Red Wolves, coming off a 69-3 victory over Oklahoma the previous week, went into the match with Life with everyone healthy and ready to play. A-State struck first with a penalty kick by Dylan Boast to put A-State up, 3-0.
Life answered with a penalty kick of its own to even the score at 3-3.
