Harding Men's Soccer Ties Texas A&M-International 1-1 in Season Opener

SEARCY – For the third time in the last four seasons, Harding men's soccer opened its campaign with an overtime game. The Bisons tied 1-1 with Texas A&M-International Thursday in a game played at the Toyota Soccer Center, home of Major League Soccer's FC Dallas.

After a scoreless first half, Harding's Peter Hmung, a sophomore from Lewisville, Texas, opened the scoring in the 69th minute. His third career goal came off a corner kick taken by Julio Martins.

Texas A&M-International, a member of the Division II Heartland Conference, equalized in the 82nd minute. Elias Perales scored on a header off a free kick from Charlie Michel.

Texas A&M-International had the only shot on goal in the two 10-minute overtime periods, and Harding goalkeeper Michael Wasson made the save.

Harding plays its second straight road game Saturday at 1 p.m. against Oklahoma Christian in Edmond, Oklahoma.
