GEORGETOWN, Texas - Downpours nor the University of Texas at Dallas could stop the Pirates from extending their unbeaten streak to four on a rain soaked afternoon in Georgetown. Southwestern needed just one goal in the opening minutes of the game to improve to 4-0 on the season. The Comets fall to 0-2-2.

After a lengthy rain delay and conversations about whether or not the game was even going to be played, the Pirates hit the field and got right to work scoring on a perfectly placed cross by sophomore Jillian Curran that lofted over the defense to senior A.J. Andreola who headed it into the back of the net.

The Pirates had many opportunities throughout the duration of the game, but just couldn’t seem to make the same connection they did earlier in the contest. Southwestern had 15 shots and nine corners on the afternoon.

Stellar defense kept Southwestern ahead as the Comets made some streaking attacks. Senior Andi Miller beat UTD to a couple 50/50 balls in the backfield and out maneuvered the UTD forwards on other occasions to hold them at bay while first-year goalkeeper Sarah Nonaka made a diving save on one break-a-way and slid to steal the ball from UTD’s Makanani who had dribbled past the SU defense and was one-on-one with Nonaka.

All-in-all the Pirates held UTD to seven shots, many of which that came in the final 20 minutes, and zero corners during the game.

Southwestern will put their undefeated record on the line again on Sunday against a very talented University of Texas at Tyler team. Game time is scheduled for 1:00 in Georgetown.
