Schreiner Shuts Out Texas Community Christian College, 30–0, to Move to 5–0

CEDAR PARK, Texas — Schreiner University football dominated all three phases Saturday night at Gupton Stadium, blanking the Texas Community Christian College Spartans, 30–0, to remain unbeaten in the program’s inaugural season.

“Our team came out to play. Our defense did an outstanding job of dominating the game. We were able to get five takeaways, a defensive touchdown and a safety—all while shutting them out,” Head Coach Keith Allen said. “Offensively we were never able to really get into a rhythm. Missed opportunities and penalties were our Achilles’ heel tonight. But we did enough to leave with another W. Winning a game 30–0 is always a great team accomplishment, and I am proud to be riding the bus home with another W. 5–0 in an inaugural year where everyone thought we wouldn’t win a game feels great, but the job is not done. We have to get ready to play a very tough, physical team in Hardin-Simmons next week.”
