Finally, after 104 minutes of scoreless play, Lewis Wilson buried the golden goal in the left side of the net to send the Rattler faithful home happy.

HEAD COACH JOHNNY CLIFFORD ON WINNER
"We would have liked to be a little cleaner, but I thought we dominated the game. UTPB really wanted this one and they defended really hard. They challenged us in the final third. Lewis doesn't score many goals as a defender, so that will mean a lot to him."
UP NEXT
The Rattlers head on the road for a big rematch against West Texas A&M. The Buffs and Rattlers will kick off at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night.
