PIONEER
SOCCER FALLS TO EAST CENTRAL, 3-1
DENTON,
TX—After the first period ended in a 1-1
tie, East Central (6-3-2, 2-0 LSC) used two second
period goals to hand the Texas Woman's University (5-7, 0-4
LSC) soccer team their fourth straight loss in Lone Star
Conference play. Angela Contreras (Irving, TX/Irving H.S.) recorded
her team-leading fifth score of the season during the fourth
minute of the game.
Both
teams got on the scoreboard early as Hillary Conley of ECU
received an assist from Jenny Cruz in the box and punched
in the first goal of the game with 4:04 on the clock. Forty-eight
seconds later, Luci Romberg (Foxfield, CO/Cherry Creek
HS) dribbled the ball down the left side and sent a cross
towards the net allowing Contreras to direct the ball into
the goal, knotting the game up at 1-1. Both defenses tightened
and the first half would end in a tie. The Tigers came out
firing in the second period, recording 12 shots compared to
only four in the first frame. Baylea Funk broke the tie when
scored an unassisted goal at the 58:25 mark. Roughly two minutes
later, Semah Yekzaman put the game away for East Central when
she scored on a header from Taiz Dirienzo's corner kick, making
the score 1-3. The Pioneers recorded five shots in the second
period, but none of them produced any goals.
TWU recorded 13 shots in the game, nine of them on goal while
the Tigers had 16 shots and eight shots on goal. Meagan Wilson
of ECU was the winning goalie with one goal allowed and eight
saves while the Pioneers' Sara Weaver (Prosper, TX/Prosper
H.S.) allowed three goals and turned in five saves. ECU
had the advantage in corner kicks, 8-5, while TWU was flagged
with 13 fouls compared to the Tigers eight. Contreras finished
the game with one goal, four shots and three shots on goal
while Romberg earned her second assist of the season. TWU's Melissa
Scott (Denton, Tex./Denton H.S.), Julie Hosek (Keller,
Tex./Keller H.S.) and Melissa Williams (Arlington, Tex./Lamar
H.S.) each recorded two shots during the game.
Up next, the Pioneers have eight days to prepare for the ninth
ranked team in the country when they travel to Edmond, Oklahoma,
to face the University of Central Oklahoma on Sunday, Oct.
20, 2002 starting at 1:00 p.m.
