Women's Soccer unable to get by Schreiner on Friday's Pinkout Match
IRVING, Texas – The University of Dallas women's soccer team (3-9, 1-6 SCAC) allowed two goals in the first half, which was enough for Schreiner University (6-3-3, 4-1-1 SCAC) to secure a 2-0 victory on Friday. Both times in the season series, the score was identical for the Mountaineers.
The teams combined for five shots in the first 45 minutes, but Schreiner knocked half of its four attempts in the netting to gain momentum. Catalina Reyes beat the keeper left as Alex Gill passed her the ball to get what would be game-winning sequence completed at the 5:51 minute mark.
Time elapsed nearly 30 minutes in the stanza, before Kayla McConnell punched in a goal from the right side of the box. The cross came from the other side as Dani Loeblein knocked a good ball that set up the opportunity.
In the second half, the Crusaders mustered seven of their eight shots with the first four taken within just over a four and a half minute stretch. Miranda Lozano (Richardson, Texas) smacked the first look on frame, and the next three of were taken by Elisa Duran (Pomona, Calif.) and two were on goal.
Despite the effort on the home side, the Mountaineers held off any late scoring chances in this contest. Dallas held tight defensively, preventing the Maroon and White to increase the advantage. Even in the final 1:30 minutes, Elena Naccari (Covington, La.) outstretched for a glove save on a penalty kick.
