BELTON, Texas – Matthew Butler scored a goal in the 46th minute and helped the Concordia University Texas men's soccer team to a 1-1 draw at I-35 rival Mary Hardin-Baylor on Saturday night.

However, the Cru (5-5-2, 2-1-2 ASC) answered five minutes later.
Mary Hardin-Baylor built an attack on the right wing before John Williams served the ball across the box where Case Carnes headed it in, just inside the far post to tie the match.
