LONGVIEW -- LeTourneau University went toe-to-toe with McMurry in a key American Southwest Conference women's soccer game Thursday evening. But a lightning-delayed affair put a damper on the YellowJackets' 1-0 loss at LETU Soccer Field.

McMurry responded after the 30-minute delay, cashing in on Alyssa Daily's goal in the 76th minute on an assist from Sky Reynolds to settle what otherwise was an evenly-matched game.

The YellowJackets (5-4, 1-2 ASC) outshot the War Hawks (8-0-4, 3-0-0) by a 6-2 margin in the first half, but after the second half delay, McMurry turned the tables. The War Hawks had nine shots in the second half, including all five of their attempts on goal, to produce just enough offense to walk out with a win. Both teams finished with 11 shots. LeTourneau had four on frame.

LETU goalkeeper Mackenzie Wilbanks had four saves in suffering her first loss of the season. McMurry keepers Cindy Vallasana and Jordan Gregory each played a half, making two saves apiece, in the combined shutout.

LeTourneau's Celeste Nunez nearly cracked the back of the net in the 62nd minute when she ripped a shot from the middle of the box that Gregory stopped. Nunez followed up the rebound with another blast that banged off the post in the YellowJackets' best scoring chances of the game.

Reagan Sandford had four shots, including a pair on goal, and Kara Gipson attempted three, one of which was on target, but the Jackets couldn't get any by the War Hawks keepers.

LeTourneau attempted four corner kicks, while McMurry had five. The YellowJackets were whistled for nine fouls, while the War Hawks had seven. 

LeTourneau will host Hardin-Simmons at 2 p.m. Saturday in the second of four straight home games.
