American Southwest Conference leader Hardin-Simmons scored three times in the first half en route to a 4-0 win over the LeTourneau University women's soccer team on Friday afternoon.
 
The YellowJackets (5-6-2, 2-3-1 ASC) were outshot by a 46 to 4 margin in the defeat. Sophomore Brittany Hollis (pictured) faced 17 shots and made 13 saves in 63:29 of action. The 13 saves are the most since a 14-save effort by Ashley Gleghorn in last year's season finale against UT Tyler (November 2).
 
LETU sophomore Raylene Gould had a pair of shots, freshman Riley Scarborough and sophomore Stephanie Vana each had a shot in the loss. Both of the attempts by Gould came in the first half and Vana had a shot after a corner kick by Gould that was saved by goalkeeper Abby Blunt.

"The team played hard against a very strong side," said LETU head coach John Antonisse. "We started a little shaky, but played a much better second half."

Hardin-Simmons (10-1, 4-0 ASC) recorded their eighth-straight shutout of the season and got on the board in the 12^th minute when Katie Haltiwanger scored off a Peyton Janssen corner kick for her fourth goal of the season. HSU extended its lead when Kami Jones and Kirsten Parrish scored in the 18^th and 31^st minute, respectively. The Cowgirls' added a Karissa Olson goal in the 58^th minute for the final margin.
 
LETU will continue their road trip Saturday afternoon at Howard Payne. Game time is 1 p.m. in Brownwood, Texas.
