METAIRIE, La. – The Texas A&M University–Texarkana men's soccer team earned a hard-fought road victory Thursday afternoon, defeating Xavier University of Louisiana 1-0 in a Red River Athletic Conference matchup at Lafreniere Park.

The Eagles broke through in the 76th minute when Sacha Chindiwo buried a goal off a clean assist from Diego Picano, giving A&M–Texarkana the 1-0 advantage. The defense held firm for the remainder of the contest, turning away several late Xavier chances to secure the shutout win.
