SAN ANTONIO, Texas – In an evenly matched contest, The University of the Incarnate Word women's soccer team came out on the wrong end of a 1-0 verdict to visiting Louisiana Tech Tuesday evening from Benson Stadium.
HOW IT HAPPENED
UIW (0-2-0) had several opportunities to score, none better than
Emily Halal's opportunity, where she beat both her defender and Lady Techster (2-0-1) goalkeeper, Faith Washington, but her shot trickled just wide.
The only scoring in the match came off the foot of Mylene Roy-Ouellet in the 61
st minute, as she beat the defender and snuck the ball past Cardinal goalkeeper
Sydney Huntsinger.
The Cardinals had three corner kicks and a shot on goal, but could not get the equalizer. Shots between the two teams were even at nine apiece, while LA Tech held a 3-2 advantage in shots on goal and UIW had six of the eight corner kick opportunities.
LEADERS
Halal and
Ana Rodriguez each had two shots, while Halal,
Isabel Gracia, and
Emani Stewart had a shot on goal apiece. Huntsinger (0-2-0) made one save in the loss.
Roy-Ouellet led all players with four shots, while she and Gabrielle Parent registered a shot on goal. Washington (1-0-0) stopped three shots between the pipes.
