Mario Teixeira, a Huron High School senior, had never been on the winning end of a soccer match against Saline.

The River Rat forward changed that Tuesday night, scoring all three goals in Huron's 3-2 victory over the Hornets in a Southeastern Conference Red Division showdown in Ann Arbor.

With the River Rats' win, Huron and Saline tie for the SEC Red title. (Rest of story | Boxscore)
