PIRATES TAKE NON-CONFERENCE WIN

Box Score

GEORGETOWN, TX - The Pirate women's soccer team faced the University of Dallas in a non-conference match on Sunday afternoon and dominated the contest in shots and corners and emerged with a 2-1 win. SU is now 5-5-1 on the year and remain 1-3 in the SCAC.

Southwestern got the scoring started early with a goal less than two minutes into the game. Laura Ornales played a great ball ahead to Jillian Curran who changed directions and found a wide open Maria Pollifrone (pictured) for the 1-0 lead. Despite numerous good looks at goal SU remained up by just one heading into the break.

The Pirates continued to press and kept the Crusaders' goalkeeper busy. Paige Duggins made it a two goal lead on a breakaway down the right side and hit the goal on a tough angled shot to put SU up 2-0.

UD made it interesting with a breakaway goal by Sexton with five minutes remining in the game, but that is as close as Southwestern would allow them as they closed out the contest for a 2-1 victory.

SU had 28 shots to the Crusaders' four and took seven corners while allowing none.

The Pirates return to SCAC action on Friday as they remain home to face Birmingham Southern at 4:00 pm.
