AUSTIN, Texas – The Concordia Texas men's soccer team rides into the American Southwest Conference Tournament  as the No. 4 seed and is taking on No. 5-seed Ozarks.

The matchup is familiar to the Tornados as the two teams squared off just this past Saturday in Clarksville, Ark. CTX emerged as 2-1 victors in the last match of the regular season.

They are two of the top three scoring teams in the conference. While Ozarks has the most goals at 45, Concordia's 2.56 goals per game average is the highest in the conference. CTX has played two less games and tallied 41 goals.

On the defensive side, Concordia has allowed a miniscule 0.94 goals per game this season, which is the best mark in program history and the second-best tally in the conference (UMHB, 0.92 ga avg.).

These two teams also butted heads in last year's ASC Tournament, which resulted in a Tornados' victory, the first in the post season for the program.

Diego Outerial leads the team with seven goals and ranks in a tie-for-fifth in the ASC. His five assists are second in the league.

The Eagles, meanwhile, boast one of the ASC's leading scorers in Bryce Young, who shares the top mark in the conference with 13 goals (along with Alfredo Kaegi of UTD). His teammates, Thomas Ross and Stewart Mena, rank second in the league with six assists each.

Kickoff is slated for 5 p.m. tomorrow on the campus of UT Dallas. The winner advances to take on top-seeded Comets in the semifinals
