MIDWESTERN
STATE GIVES TWU SECOND LOSS IN CONFERENCE
WICHITA
FALLS, Tex.—Midwestern State (7-4-0, 1-1-0)
scored three goals in the first half and four more in the
second period to hand Texas Woman’s
University (1-7-2, 0-2-1 LSC) a 7-1 loss in conference play. Freshman Emily
Meinen (Keller, TX/ Keller H.S.) scored the Pioneers only goal of
the game in the 56th minute.
"The team came out flat and didn’t communicate on the field. It is
frustrating because I know how well this team can play if they play as a team
and today, we just had a few players who gave it their best," head coach
Fleur Benatar said. "We were in the game, we just had too many break downs
on the field. It seemed like every time Midwestern State took a shot, the ball
went into the goal."
It
did not take the Lady Indians very long to get on the board
in their game against TWU as Dayna Sanders scored an unassisted
goal seven minutes into
the contest. The Pioneer defense allowed MSU just four more shots in the
first half, but they scored on two of those to make the score 0-3 going
into intermission. Starting goalkeeper Stephanie Stein (Trophy
Club, TX/Northwest HS) made one save in the first period and
another in the second before Sara Weaver (Prosper, TX/ Prosper
HS) replaced her in goal. Stein allowed four goals to record
the loss, moving her record to 0-3-2 on the season.
MSU
kept the pressure on in the second period, recording 14 shots.
The Lady Indians added to their lead when Natalie Noblitt
scored in the 48th minute.
Angela Darrough moved the score to 0-5 before the Pioneers got on the board
with Meinen’s goal. MSU added two more goals to close out the game
with the final score coming from Nickie Zelnik in the 87th minute.
The
Pioneers recorded 10 shots in the game, seven coming in the
second half. Meinen and Julie Hosek (Keller, TX/Keller
HS) led
the squad with three shots apiece. Stephanie McCool (Midlothian,
TX/Midlothian HS), Luci Romberg (Foxfield, CO/ Cherry Creek HS),
Mandy Lambert (The Colony, TX/The Colony HS) and Collette
Parker (Denton, TX/Denton HS) each chipped in with a shot.
Weaver closed the game out with four saves and three goals allowed.
Up
next, the Pioneers continue their road trip as they travel
to San Angelo on Saturday, Oct. 11 for a 3:00
p.m. game with the Rambelles.
