Women's Soccer Shuts Out Belhaven 2-0

LONGVIEW, Texas - Senior Kennedy Keer would play a role in both LeTourneau University goals as the YellowJackets would shutout visiting Belhaven University by a final of 2-0 at the Joyce Family Athletic Village on Thursday, October 19.

LETU improves to 7-5-3 overall and earns a crucial three points in the American Southwest Conference to improve to 3-4-2 while the visiting Blazers are now 2-11-1 overall and 1-8 in the ASC. 

The YellowJackets didn't wait long to jump out to an early lead as Keer would slot a pass through the defense to Jennifer Martin in the fourth minute. When receiving the pass, Martin evaded the Blazer defender and placed the ball in the far, lower corner to solidify her third goal of the season and the game-winning goal.

After the goal, the YellowJackets would remain in control for the rest of the half and keep pressure on Belhaven by putting up seven shots.

The second half would see another quick strike by the YellowJackets as Myranda Pierce would serve a ball into Keer who would head the ball past the keeper and push the YellowJacket lead to 2-0. 

A two goal lead would be more than enough for LETU, who would hold BU to only one shot in the second half and come away with their fourth shutout victory of the season. 

"We battled a tough Belhaven team today and came out with a great result," said Coach John Antonisse in a postgame interview. I'm proud of this team and the way they played tonight"

Throughout the game, the YellowJacket defense would remain strong and limit the Blazers to three shots on goal. Goal keeper Carrye Funk recorded her fourth clean of the season and is now just one shutout shy of tying the LETU single-season record set by Nicole Tammelin in 2008. With three points on the night, Keer now has 43 in her career to move her into seventh all-time at LeTourneau. 

The YellowJackets will host Louisiana College tomorrow, October 20, at 5 PM for their final home game and Senior Night. Riley Scarborough, Myranda Pierce, Carrye Funk, JoLynn O'Kelley, and Kennedy Keer will be honored prior to the game.
