LONGVIEW, Texas – Miranda Coffey's golden goal lifts Letourneau past Centenary 1-0 at the Joyce Family Athletic Village Sunday.

The Yellowjackets improve to 2-9-1 with the result and the Ladies fall to 2-8-1.

"Tonight, was a team win from the opening whistle," head coach Alyssa Taramona said. "The girls were hungry, it showed by the effort. We need to build off this result going into Thursday's conference match."

Madison Ersoff, Centenary's goalkeeper, seemed fooled on a lofted ball from 30 yards away from Kara Gipson. Her delayed reaction prevented her from securing the ball on the dive to the back post, creating a rebound. Coffey won the mad dash to the loose ball and found the back of the net, setting off a victory celebration by the home side.

Reagan Sandford nearly put LeTourneau up three minutes into the contest when her shot clanked off the lower right post. Centenary's best scoring chances came in the first half, but Kiersten Reeser saved the four shots on goal, all coming in the opening stanza. She rejected two shots from point-blank range in the final three minutes of the period, preserving the clean sheet at intermission.

Inside the Box:
- Reeser registered her seventh career shutout, moving into a tie for the most in program    history with Anna Wolfgang.
- Coffey's goal is her second of the season.
- This was the first assist of the season for Gipson.
- Centenary outshot LeTourneau 10-7 but the Yellowjackets held a 5-3 advantage in the second half and extra time.
- The all-time series is even at 5-5, snapping LeTourneau's three-match losing streak to Centenary.
