That player is Texas A&M's Steven Terrell.
Fuentes commits to Dallas
Lovejoy senior Dane Fuentes has assured his baseball career will extend past high school after committing to the University of Dallas.
A staple in the Lovejoy system, Fuentes helped pitch and man the outfield for the Leopards last season -- a campaign that ended in the team's fourth consecutive playoff berth.
Fuentes will be a vital cog in upping that figure to five in 2013 as one of 13 returners for Lovejoy.
Academically, Fuentes boasts a 3.79 GPA.
Sidekicks avenge loss
The Dallas Sidekicks didn't wait long to return the favor to the Chicago Mustangs.
One week removed from being dealt its first loss of the season in an 8-7 overtime setback to Chicago, Dallas evened the count Saturday by toppling the Mustangs, 6-2.
"This was big tonight," said Tatu, Dallas head coach. "We have to make sure we continue to win games if we want to get in the playoffs and have homefield [advantage]."
The Sidekicks remained in sole possession of first place in the PASL Central Division after scoring five of their six goals in the second half.
After Nick Stavrou got Dallas on the board 40 seconds into the first, the team didn't find the back of the net until 2:27 into the third when Patrick Shamu scored his first of two goals. Unanswered goals followed from Shamu, Franck Mbemba and Jamie Lovegrove.
Ricardinho contributed three assists.
The win improved Dallas to 9-1 and sets up a road tilt Sunday at 5 p.m. against the Rio Grande Valley Flash.
