TWU
FALLS TO WEST TEXAS A&M IN SOCCER
CANYON,
TX—West
Texas A&M (6-2, 1-1 LSC)
scored five goals in the first half and cruised to a 9-1 victory
over Texas Woman's University (5-5, 0-2 LSC), handing the
Pioneers their second straight conference loss. Erica Butler
(Burleson, TX/Burleson HS) scored TWU's lone goal at
the 48:55 mark of the second half, giving her two for the year.
“West Texas A&M has a great team. They are strong
and fast at every position and played very well in the first
half,” head coach Fleur
Benatar said. “We came out
in the second half and started playing well about midway through the period, but it was too little too late. Erica Butler had
a nice goal and had a chance at another one.”
West
Texas A&M did not take long to put points on the
board as goals by Whitney Cates and Kathy Clutterbuck put TWU
in an 0-2 hole four minutes into the game. Clutterbuck added
her second goal at the 13:31 mark, off of a free kick, and
Jessica Rodriguez beat the Pioneers goalkeeper, Stephanie
Stein (Trophy Club, TX/ Northwest H.S.), one-on-one to
give the Lady Buffs a 0-4 advantage 25 minutes into the game.
West Texas A&M added one score to end the first period
and another just two minutes into the second frame to push
their lead to 0-6. Butler put the Pioneers on the board in
the 48th minute when she scored her unassisted goal.
The Lady Buffs scored three more times in the second half to
win the game 1-9.
TWU managed just three shots during the game, all coming in
the second half. Butler had two shots on goal while Lacey
Steinkamp (Sugar Land, TX/Clements H.S.) recorded the
other shot. West Texas A&M totaled 23 shots with TWU's
Stein making five saves and allowing nine goals, moving her
record to 3-4 on the season. The Lady Buffs also had 13 corner
kicks and were flagged with seven fouls while TWU made nine
fouls.
Up
next, the Pioneers continue their conference road trip as
they travel to Midwestern
State on Saturday, Oct. 5 with a start time
of 2 p.m.
