Jaguar Men Make Historic Run to Second Round of RRAC Tournament

Under Head Coach Roberto Jaramillo, the men’s soccer team had a historic 2025 season, making it to the second round of the RRAC tournament for the first time, defeating Texas A&M–Texarkana 3–0 at home.  

Junior forward Jacob Olivares was the star of the match, scoring twice within a five-minute span during the first half. In the second half, Oscar Hernandez helped maintain the team’s momentum, scoring a third goal and sealing the victory. Goalkeeper Marco Matranga had two second-half saves, with the rest of Jaguars' defensive players holding Texarkana to just seven total shots.   

"This team has worked hard all year to reach this point, and making the second round for the first time is a testament to their belief and commitment," said Jaramillo.  

The Jaguars ultimately came up short during the conference semifinals, falling 3–1 to nationally ranked LSU Shreveport. The Jaguars finished the year with an 11–4–2 record, marking the most successful season in program history.
