SHERMAN, Texas - In their final tune-up heading into American Southwest Conference play next week, the LeTourneau University women's soccer team put up a total of 21 shots while finding a way to beat Austin College by a final score of 1-0 at the Pierce Complex in Sherman, Texas on Sunday, September 10th. 

The YellowJackets earned their fourth win of the year following Friday's scoreless draw against the University of Dallas to improve to 4-0-1 on the year while the host Kangaroos fell to 1-3-0. Through five games this season, LETU's undefeated record of 4-0-1 is their best start in school history. 

LeTourneau would determine the pace of play throughout the game, putting up a total of 11 shots in the first 45 minutes of action while also drawing four corner kicks in the half. Despite putting six shots on goal prior to halftime, all six would be turned away by Austin starting keeper Ashley Lipe to keep the game scoreless at intermission. 

It would not take long for the YellowJackets to break the scoreless tie in the second half, thanks in part to a foul in the box by the 'Roos. Sophomore Kelli Sonnier would called upon to take the penalty kick, sending the ball into the upper right corner of the goal past Austin goalie Maya Erwin to put LETU up 1-0 at the 46:21 mark. 

The goal would be all that LeTourneau would need as the host 'Roos would be held to just one shot total in the second half as the YellowJackets would earn their third shutout of the year. 

In total, Letourneau would outshoot Austin 21-3 which included a 10-2 shots on goal advantage. Corner kicks would also go in favor of LETU by a tally of 8-1. 

Sonnier finished with a total of four shots which included her penalty kick goal, while Cecilia Pichardo fired off three shots off the bench. Carrye Funk earned the win for LeTourneau, playing a total of 64:15 in net and making two saves while Freshman Bayleigh Bustamante spent 25:45 between the pipes for the YellowJackets. 

LETU will look to avenge last year's loss to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor on Thursday, September 14th when the YellowJackets host the Cru for a 5 p.m. ASC Conference opener for both teams. UMHB is 3-1 this year after earning a 1-0 overtime win at Hendrix College on Sunday afternoon.
