ROUND ROCK, Texas – The Concordia Texas men's soccer team scored five second half goals and never looked back, cruising to a 6-2 win over East Texas Baptist to open American Southwest Conference play on Thursday.

Marco Vazquez and Edgar Guerrero each scored a pair of goals to pace the Tornados, who scored at least six goals in a single game for the first time since Sept. 24, 2016.

The Tigers struck first, scoring off a free kick from outside the box in the 19th minute to take a 1-0 lead.

Concordia Texas was quick to respond as Uly Torres-Martinez and Edgar Guerrero's quick movement of the ball up the field found Vasquez, who took advantage of ETBU's defensive mishap, and finished off his second goal of the season to tie it at 1-all.

At the break, the teams remained tied despite a combined 14 shots in the game.

In the second half, the Tornados started fast, registering two goals in the first five minutes.

Vasquez notched his second goal of the night on an assist from Guerrero, who would follow suit with his first goal of the season, a missile into the top left corner of the net and made it 3-1 in the 50th minute.

East Texas Baptist would not goes away easily though, countering with a goal in the 58th minute and cutting the deficit in half.

Concordia Texas was quick to respond once again, this time by Landon Nelson, who finished off his first goal of the season in the 67th minute to make it 4-2.

Guerrero would go on to score his second goal of the night on a PK and Chris Rivas scored in the final seconds of the game as the Tornados ran away with a 6-2 win over the Tigers to open conference play.

Concordia Texas finished the night with nine corner kicks and 19 shots, 10 of them on goal.

The Tornados will return to the pitch on Saturday to host LeTourneau at 4:30 p.m. at the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex in Round Rock, Texas.
