EASTERN
NEW MEXICO DOWNS TWU TO OPEN CONFERENCE
DENTON,
TX—Texas Woman’s
University (1-6-1, 0-1 LSC) and Eastern New Mexico (2-4,
1-0 LSC) could not decide on a winner after 90 minutes
of play, so they went into sudden-death overtime. The Zias’ Megan
Dozier broke the 1-1 tie at the 6:55 mark to give ENMU
a 2-1 victory. The Pioneers controlled the ball for most
of the game, recording 31 shots to the Zias' six, but only
one shot made it into the goal.
TWU
was firing the ball at ENMU goalkeeper, Carolyn Vincent,
from the very start. They recorded 14 shots in the first
half, five on goal. Dozier put
the Zias on the board first when she received a pass from Kayla McKamey,
then broke away from a TWU defender and scored at the 22:18 mark. Dozier
had both of ENMU’s shots in the first period.
The
Pioneers again put pressure on the ENMU defense in the second
half, recording 15 shots to the Zias three. Stephanie
Stein (Trophy Club, TX/Northwest H.S.) knotted
the game at 1-1 with 74:13 on the clock when she scored off
of a shot from her teammate, Julie Hosek (Keller,
TX/Keller H.S.), which bounced off of Vincent’s
hands. The Pioneers continued to take shots at the goal,
but Vincent made six saves in the
period to move the game into overtime. In the extra period, TWU had two
good opportunities to score early, but one shot sailed over the goal and
Vincent saved the other. Almost seven minutes went by when Dozier scored
the game-winner off an assist from Stacia Givens.
This
was the Pioneers second overtime game of the season and first
loss in an overtime period. Sara Weaver (Prosper,
TX/Prosper H.S.) saw
only six shots come her way during the game and made one save. She moved
her record to 1-4 on the season with the loss. Stein recorded her third
goal of the season while Hosek led the team with six shots. Twelve different
Pioneers recorded shots in the game.
Up
next, the Pioneers host West Texas A&M University on
Sunday, Oct. 5 at Pioneer Soccer Field with a start time
of 12:00 p.m.
