Abilene, Texas - After taking an early 1-0 lead in the first half, the LeTourneau University needed a double-overtime golden goal to defeat McMurry University by a final score of 2-1 on September 23 in Abilene, Texas.

With the win, the YellowJackets improve to 6-2-1 overall and 2-2-0 in the American Southwest Conference while McMurry falls 2-6-0 and 0-3-0 in the ASC.

The YellowJackets scored in the 23rd minute when Ali Saldana found Kelli Sonnier. Sonnier put the ball in the back of the net from 40 yards out to put LETU to 1-0. The YellowJackets maintained the lead into half time. 

In the second half, the War Hawks would strike back in the 74th minute when Emily Fisher was able to slot the ball past the LETU goalkeeper Carrye Funk. 

At the end of regulation, the score was still even, so the game went into overtime. Because the first overtime did not result in a goal, a second overtime was necessary. 

In the 108th minute, Sonnier once again found goal, credit the assist to Jennifer Martin, and, this time, it was the game-winner. 

LETU held a commanding 16-5 advantage in shots and outshot the War Hakws 5-1 in the extra time. LeTourneau held a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks with each team making three saves.

The YellowJackets will be back at the Joyce Family Athletic Village on Thursday, September 28 to play the Lobos of Sul Ross at 7 PM.
