When sophomore midfielder Jordan Wix Rauch fired the tying goal into the back of the net with three minutes, 27 seconds left in Saturday night’s game, he may have saved the Owls’ season.

“Someone played a ball into the box,” Wix Rauch said. “I luckily put it into the corner. Everything was a flash after that.”

Wix Rauch’s first goal of the year allowed the Owls (9-5-2, 1-2-2 American Athletic Conference) to salvage a 1-1 draw against Tulsa in double overtime at the Temple Sports Complex. With the draw, the Owls’ chances to play in the conference tournament stay alive.
