Box Score GEORGETOWN, Texas - With a 2-0 win on Sunday afternoon the
Southwestern women's soccer team closed out the back end of a home
conference weekend, sweeping two crucial SCAC matches. The wins
improve SU to 7-5-1 on the year and 3-3 in the conference while
Millsaps falls to 7-7 and 0-5.
Southwestern had numerous looks at the goal but were just off on
the timing and missed out on goal scoring opportunities. The
Pirates took an early 1-0 lead when Berkeley
Mengwasser served a lofting pass from the right side into the
middle of box to Danielle Madison who headed it home.
In an active attacking first half Southwestern had 12 shots,
seven on goal, and held the Majors to only one shot, but went into
the break with just a 1-0 lead.
Millsaps came out of the break strong, making a couple of well
organized attacks and had good looks at goal, but the defensive
line of Madi Statchura (pictured), Mengwasser, Sarah
Holifield and Lyndsey Resnik
worked hard to maintain the one goal lead.
Kylie
O'Connor nearly made it a two goal lead but her breakaway shot
deflected off the near post holding the lead to just one. Just a
minute later the two goal lead was realized when Laura Ornelas
played a perfect through-ball that Ashley Gallegos
ran down and after a misplay by a MC defender cut the sharp angle
and put the ball into the back of the net giving SU a more
comfortable 2-0 lead.
Southwestern had 21 shots on the afternoon and nine corners
while holding Millsaps to four shots and three corners.
The Pirates return to non-conference action with a game in San
Antonio, Texas against regional-opponent Chapman on Sunday
beginning at noon.
