LUFKIN — The Port Arthur Memorial Titans played what coach Clint Hoverson called the team’s best match of the season Thursday.

The two teams were tied 2-2 and with 6 seconds left the Titans committed a foul in the box. College Park netted a penalty kick with no time left on the clock.

Ricardo Monreal scored Memorial’s first goal off an assist from Miguel Rangel to pull within 2-1 with 30 minutes left in the match. Rangel scored off a rebound a minute later to tie the score at 2-2.

Memorial outshot College Park 11-5 and got eight saves from Arturo Villarreal.
