Box Score

KERRVILLE, TX: The Texas Wesleyan University women’s soccer team (6-1) nailed down their fifth shutout of the season, blanking Schreiner University (2-4) 6-0 on Tuesday.

 

After scoring her first two collegiate goals during a 5-0 win over the University of Houston-Victoria last week, freshman forward Karissa Olson picked up right where she left off. Olson wasted no time getting the scoring started when she headed in a cross from Trista Rivera in the fourth minute. Olson score again, this time on an assist from Jodi Blowers, in the 20^th minute. Katie Fruit scored three minutes later off an assist from Cara Lumpkin, and the Lady Rams led 3-0 at the half.

 

The second half was more of the same. Lumpkin scored just over a minute into the period. Lumpkin scored again in the 54^th minute on an assist from Kayla Mason. In the 60^th minute Lumpkin found Olson who made it a hat trick to cap the scoring at 6-0.

 

The Lady Rams outshot the Mountaineers 37-1, and led 9-1 in corner kicks. Katy Houchin made one save while recording her 14^th career shutout. Schreiner’s Genevieve Monroe made 14 saves in the loss. 

 

In their last two games, the Lady Rams have allowed a total of four shots, one on goal. Tuesday’s performance came without the aid of three regulars, Kayla Doherty, Samantha McGilvra, and Jessica Watton.

 

The Lady Rams will return to action on Saturday, when they travel to Oklahoma City, OK, to take on Oklahoma City University. That game is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start.
