Corpus Christi shutout the Red Wolves, 1-0, Saturday night at CHI Memorial Stadium in USL Cup action.

Corpus Christi’s Blake Bowen scored the lone goal of the game in the 6th minute. 

The Wolves’ next home match is May 9, where they’ll be battling Sarasota Paradise.

The Red Wolves seized ball control and maintained it throughout the first half. Corpus Christi’s Arthur Medina sustained a yellow card in the 11th, and Tobi Adewole in the 42nd. The action burned largely in Corpus Christi’s third, but as halftime began, the Wolves were still down.

The second half surged to life, and the Red Wolves kept the ball under control. Several throw-ins and corner kicks in Corpus Christi’s half signaled the beginning of change, and two shots in the 64th and 65th minutes very nearly equalized. In the 70th, a foul by Corpus Christi allowed the Wolves an electrifying string of corner and free kicks. The flow continued into stoppage time, where Omar Hernandez launched a flurry of furious corner kicks.

Pedro Hernandez subbed out for Academy midfielder Nathan Donoho, and a final corner kick by Omar screamed just barely by the goal. The Wolves gave their all and played with the ferocity and honor they’re known for, but no shot of theirs could make it through in time.
