YellowJackets Sting Crusaders for First Win

IRVING, Texas -- LeTourneau University women's soccer team beat the University of Dallas, 3-1, Friday night to snag its first win of the season.

The YellowJackets (1-1-0) broke a 1-1 tie in the second half when Kara Gipson slid one past Crusaders goalkeeper Natalie Kutac in the 50th minute for what amounted to be the gamewinning goal. LETU tacked on an insurance goal from Jennifer Martin in the 73rd minute to put it away.

LeTourneau peppered the posts with 24 shots, including 12 on frame, in a breakout performance. Dallas had 16 shots, only five of which Jackets keeper Mackenzie Wilbanks had to face. Wilbanks made four saves to pick up the win. Kutacs stopped nine shots.

Martin scored twice -- her first goal off a header at the 11:32 mark to give the YellowJackets the early lead. The Crusaders answered in the 20th minute when Izzy Barajas scored to tie it at 1-1.

Martin unleashed eight shots, including five on goal. 

Gipson, Reagan Sandford and Tamara Mahoney all drew assists for the YellowJackets, who outshot Dallas, 15-5, in the second half. 

LETU will play at Centenary Tuesday at 5 p.m.
