KERRVILLE, TEXAS – The LeTourneau University YellowJackets defeated the Schreiner Mountaineers 1-0 to sweep opening weekend and improve to 2-0. This is the second year in a row the YellowJackets have started the season 2-0 – a first for the LeTourneau Women's Soccer program.
"This was a great team win," said Coach
John Antonisse who is starting his fourth season leading the YellowJackets. "Everyone contributed to this victory. We weathered the first half wave of Schreiner's attacks and slowly improved our play through the second half. Our goal came late from Kat Baker and we managed the outcome to the end."
The only goal of the game would come in the 84th minute when junior
Keely Hayden found freshman
Katherine Baker. Baker would find the back of the net to earn her second goal of the season and second game-winner.
The Mountaineers outshot the YellowJackets in the first half six to four. However, in the second half, LeTourneau tipped the scales and got off five shots to Schreiner's two.
The YellowJackets will be back in action on Tuesday, September 5, when they take on the Lions of Southwestern Assemblies of God University at 5 P.M. at the Joyce Family Athletic Village on the campus of LeTourneau University.
