Jaime Ibarra stared down CSU Bakersfield’s Ernesto Hinojosa as the bright lights of Westcott Field collapsed on the two of them. The game of 22 players suddenly ended up with a showdown between two.

Ibarra, the junior goalkeeper from SMU, was facing his second penalty kick attempt in three games.

The FC Dallas Academy product was in a similar situation a week earlier when he saved a kick from the spot in the 81st minute against Oakland to keep the score at 0-0. Leobardo Vazquez scored the game-winner for SMU in overtime. Ibarra was awarded MVP of the tournament.

This time, the situation was amplified.
