ABILENE, Texas – The University of Dallas women's soccer team was blanked 4-0 on Sunday against Hardin-Simmons University. It was the first time this season the Lady Crusaders fell in consecutive match-ups (2-3).

A quartet of goals in the opening half were plenty for the Cowgirls who piled on 27 shots in the victory as they improved on their overall record (4-1).

Junior defender Rebecca Brunter (Los Alamitos, Calif.) tallied the lone shot for the navy and white in the second frame.

Stepping in between the posts for Dallas was freshman goalkeeper Tori Fleharity (Richmond, Texas). In the match, she allowed all four goals, but also pulled down 6 saves while facing a shot total over 20 for the third time during the campaign.
