Austin, Texas-Sophomore forward Thomas Mills scored the game-winning goal in the 36th minute to push Ozarks past Concordia University Texas 1-0 Saturday in American Southwest Conference action.
"It was a great team effort today by the boys," said Head Coach Matt Torok. "I am so proud that the boys came together and decided to put the playoff picture in their own hands. It was a situation where they took control of their own destiny."
"Concordia was a well-balanced team that sent a lot of guys forward into the attack. We had to deal with their size and defend all over the field. We scored a great goal and then managed to hang on. Over the course of our past two matches, we got away from what we do well and that's defend and work hard. We will enjoy this tonight, but we will start to prepare for the playoffs once we learn who our opponent will be."
Austin Benner had two saves in goal for Ozarks.
