LeTourneau Women's Soccer Beats Concordia Texas 4-1; John Antonisse Earns 250th Win

ROUND ROCK, Texas - Breaking open a 1-0 halftime lead with three second-half goals, the LeTourneau University women's soccer team earned a 4-1 victory to give head coach John Antonisse his 250th career women's soccer victory at the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex in Round Rock, Texas on Thursday, September 13th. 

Improving to a school-record 5-0-1, the YellowJackets are now 1-0 in the American Southwest Conference after winning their conference opening match while the Tornadoes slipped to 1-3-0 and 0-1 in the ASC. 

How It Happened: 
  • Concordia would pressure the YellowJackets early on, putting up five shots in the opening 12 minutes of action while limiting LETU to just one shot until a corner kick at the 12:08 mark. 
  • LeTourneau managed to weather the early barrage of shots and flip the script with three shots in a matter of 45 seconds, with the third shot coming from freshman Reagan Sandford that would find the back of the net for a 1-0 lead. 
  • The Tornadoes would continue their offensive attack for the duration of the first half, outshooting the YellowJackets by a margin of 11-6 but would be unable to find an equalizer in the opening 45 minutes of play. 
  • Action would get off to a quick start in the second half, as LeTourneau would manage to draw a foul in the box for a penalty kick just two minutes into the period and call upon Sandford to take the shot. 
  • The freshman took full advantage of the opportunity, converting on her second penalty kick of the year and scoring her second goal of the night to put the YellowJackets up by a score of 2-0. 
  • Just 13 minutes later it would be Sandford sending a pass into senior Keely Hayden to put the ball in the back of the net as LETU took a 3-0 lead and had full control of the match heading into the final 30 minutes of action. 
  • It would be Hayden who managed to connect on her second goal of the night in the 69th minute to give the YellowJackets a 4-0 lead and put the game out of reach, as Concordia would score a single goal just over four minutes later to put the final score at a three-goal margin in favor of LETU. 
Key Stats:
  • Concordia would hold a 15-12 advantage in the game in total shots, but saw the YellowJackets connect on four of their seven shots on goal. 
  • The two goals by Sandford extended her streak to six-straight games that the freshman has scored in while pushing her team lead in points to 18 points on the season. 
  • Mackenzie Wilbanks earned her second win of the year in goal, playing the first 87:38 before making way for junior Mari Zeitlow to close out the victory between the pipes. 
What's Next?
LeTourneau will close out their four-game road swing with a 5 p.m. matchup at Mary Hardin-Baylor on Saturday, September 15th. The Cru were 6-1 winners on Thursday morning over East Texas Baptist in their ASC opener.
