TYLER, Texas -- UT Tyler notched its second Lone Star Conference victory of the season with a 1-0 victory over Texas A&M International Tuesday afternoon.
 
Todd Fuller scored the game's only goal midway through the first half after Birkir Eydal played a through ball over the Texas A&M International defense. Fuller broke free from the Dustdevils back line and put the ball into the left side of the net in the 29^th minute. It was the first career goal for the freshman Fuller, and Eydal registered his first career assist.
 
The shots were even between the teams in the first half, 4-4, and the Patriot defense preserved the shutout with five second-half saves. Mathias Eriksen made six saves in the game, but Shane Popieluch cleared a ball from danger in the 63^rd minute when a TAMIU corner kick resulted in a shot to the back post where Popieluch was holding his position and was able to clear it off the line.
 
From that point on, Texas A&M International managed only one more shot on goal. It came with just five minutes left in regulation, when Gabriel Gacovicaj took a chance from the left side deep in the penalty area, but his shot to the near post was stopped and covered by Eriksen to preserve the shutout.
 
Texas A&M International finished with advantages in shots (12-7) and corner kicks (9-5). Eriksen matched his season-high in saves with 6 as he notched his second cleansheet of the season.
 
With the win, UT Tyler improved to 2-4-1 overall and 2-3-1 in Lone Star Conference play, while Texas A&M International fell to 3-3-1 on the year.
 
The Patriots have two games left in the regular season, starting with a March 30 visit to St. Mary's before the April 6 regular-season finale at home against DBU.
