GEORGETOWN, Texas - Minutes into the second half Southwestern had an open goal opportunity they weren't able to convert on and were held at bay until Mallory Harkins buried the ball in the back of the net after a failed clear by Texas Lutheran in the 60th minute. 

Megan McGrath headed home the insurance goal off Malorie Lara's perfectly served corner kick just minutes later. 

Up next the Pirates will have their toughest test to date as they travel to #22 UT Tyler Friday evening.
