CHICKASHA, Okla. — The Texas Wesleyan Women's Soccer team fell 5-0 at Science and Arts (USAO) on Tuesday. It is the first time the Lady Rams have been shutout this season and marks the fifth straight win for the Drovers who are receiving votes in the NAIA poll.

After four consecutive offsides calls, USAO scored the first goal of the match on their fifth shot in the 21^stminute. By the end of the first half, the Drovers would extend their lead to 3-0. 
 
TXWES keeper Julia Villalobos did her best to defend a charged USAO offense, recording 8 saves of 15 shots during the first half.
 
Eight minutes into the second half, USAO found the back of the net again, then extended their advantage to 5-0 by the 65^th minute. TXWES managed to take 4 shots in the second half, but only one from Vanessa Soriano was on target and promptly saved by USAO.
 
Villalobos finished the match with 11 saves, the second most she has notched this season after recording a career high 14 saves at Houston-Victoria.
