Pulaski, Tenn. - UTS men's soccer extended their win streak to three today upsetting the Bethel University Wildcats 1-0 Saturday afternoon.

The Firehawks (5-5, 2-2 MSC) held formerly ranked Bethel to just 4 first half shots, none of which were on goal. The Firehawks stingy defense kept the high powered Wildcats out of rhythm. At the half both squads recorded 4 shots apiece.

Pietari Vanska would hammer the game winner on a beautiful cross from Mario Lopez in the 68th minute. UTS would hold the Wildcats at bay to record the clean sheet. Both squads would have nine shots in the match.

Goalkeeper AJ Murray would record two crucial saves to ensure the shutout. 

Coach Brian Davies commented on the win, "I am extremely happy with our performance tonight. This week has been a true test for us playing three games in five days. To end up 3-0 and best two conference opponents is impressive. Tonight was a torrid battle. Bethel is a very good squad, and I thought we dominated possession and deserved the win. We can certainly build off this win. We will enjoy a week off to rest up and get healthy. We will be ready to face two more tough MSC opponents! We definitely will enjoy today's victory."
