In the end, the visiting Roadrunners did just enough to get past the Buccaneers for a 1-0 victory at Hohlt Park’s Rankin Field in Brenham, Texas.
Angelina tallied the game-winning goal in the 82nd minute of play.
Freshman goalie Sydney Gibbs made four saves for Blinn.
Angelina out-shot the Bucs 4-3.
“To hold the 16th-ranked team in the nation to a scoreless tie all the way until the 82nd minute is a great accomplishment for the youngest team in the conference,” Blinn head coach Alexandria Jackson said. “We have to move on from this game as more games are coming quick and fast.”
The Buccaneers are now 3-1 on the season and 2-1 in the region standings.
They’ll get back to work with a region road tilt at Jacksonville College at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14, in Jacksonville, Texas.
Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 42 NJCAA national championships since 1987.
