Tristan Rehrig's goal in the 72nd minute provided just enough insurance as the University of West Florida held on to defeat Marco Warren, Tristan Hall and their Flagler College Soccer teammate 3-2 in a Non-Conference Men's Soccer match at the UWF Soccer Complex.
West Florida snapped a two-match losing streak and improved to 4-5-2 overall. Flagler lost its third consecutive match and dropped to 5-6-1 overall.
Flagler trailed 2-0 midway through the second half when an West Florida defender committed a foul inside the penalty area. That set up a penalty kick by Hall who immediately converted to get Flagler back into the match.
Four minutes later is when Rehrig netted the insurance goal and West Florida held a 3-1 lead.
That goal proved to be pivotal as Thomas Gallitz scored an unassisted goal in the 81st minute to pull Flagler back to within one goal.
Andre Moreira collected four saves for West Florida while Lex Craggs recorded two saves in the first half and Joey LaSala corralled three more in the second half.
West Florida out-shot Flagler 17-9, but Flagler held a 7-4 advantage in corner kicks.
