AROUND THE SCAC
Austin College went 1-1 last week, topping
LeTourneau 2-1 before falling 1-0 to East Texas Baptist to bring
their record to 1-2 overall this season. Against LeTourneau, the
‘Roos held a 30-4 shot advantage but needed some late heroics
by Lauren Scott to get the 2-1 win. Kelsey D’Amore got the
scoring started with a header off a corner kick by Ariel Marder in
the 40th minute of action, and after the Jackets had squared things
up Scott punched home the game winning tally in the 87th minute off
a feed from D’Amore. Against ETBU the ‘Roos held a
13-10 shot advantage but were unable to capitalize. This weekend
the ‘Roos are home against Millsaps on Saturday and Rhodes on
Sunday.
Centenary (1-1-1) dropped a 2-0 decision
to Millsaps on Sunday. The Ladies held a 7-4 advantage in corner
kicks. Millsaps outshot Centenary 12-11. The Ladies return to
action on Sept. 11 when they travel to LeTourneau.
Dallas (5-0) remains undefeated after a 3-0 week on the
road in which the Lady Crusaders outscored opponents 11-1. On
Tuesday, Dallas defeated LeTourneau, 3-0. Senior goalkeeper Brigid
Hasson totaled three saves in the shutout effort, in which the Lady
Crusaders had a constant offensive attack. Dallas bombarded
LeTourneau with 22 shots, landing 14 on goal. Junior forward Claire
Sexton chipped in two scores, while freshman defender/forward
Rebecca Brunter contributed another. Dallas took down Schreiner on
Saturday, 4-1, never trailing in the game. Sunday pitted Dallas
versus Texas Lutheran University, and the Lady Crusaders continued
their winning ways to the tune of a 4-0 victory. Hasson notched her
third shutout from five opportunities on the 2012 season.
Accounting for two goals in the game, Sexton produced five on the
week and now has six in five games overall. Johnson and freshman
defender Marissa Garcia (Lubbock, Texas) pitched in one apiece.
Dallas outshot Texas Lutheran, 29-10, finding the target 17
times.
Southwestern continued to face some of the top teams in
the region and fell to 0-5 on the season after three losses this
week. In their home opener on Tuesday night, Southwestern had great
looks at goal but couldn't get any to fall as they fell 2-0 to
Concordia University (TX). SU then hit the road again to take on UT
Dallas and UT Tyler over the weekend. The Pirates took control of
the game early with a goal by Lindsay Jakszta but the Comets came
back strong with a two-goal second half, stealing the 2-1 win. On
Sunday it was the first half that hurt Southwestern as UTT outshot
SU 12-3 and scored three goals in the first frame to take a
commanding lead. A much stronger second half saw an even 5-5 shot
count but the Patriots add one more goal to arrive at the 4-0
final. Southwestern heads to California this week to take on UC
Santa Cruz on Saturday and Mills on Sunday.
No. 6 Trinity notched a pair of shutout wins on the road
this weekend, defeating UT-Tyler 1-0 on Friday evening, then
beating UT-Dallas 3-0 on Sunday afternoon. The Tigers got goals
from four different players in the two games, and it marked the
second straight time that Trinity had shut out both teams.
Stephanie Segovia netted the game’s only goal on Friday for
her first score of the season, then All-American Emily Jorgens
scored the game-winner in Sunday’s victory. Trinity will play
just once this week, facing off against Our Lady of the Lake
University at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. It will mark the 2012 home debut
for the Tigers, who play 10 of their first 12 games on the road
this season.
