Jackets' Comeback Falls Short to Lions

LONGVIEW – LeTourneau University's women's soccer team made a late push, but couldn't overcome a two-goal deficit in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Piedmont College at LETU Soccer Field.
 
Kara Gipson scored off a free kick in the 75th minute to pull the YellowJackets within a goal. But the Jackets (0-3-1) couldn't generate the equalizer over the final 15 minutes, and the Lions held on.
 
Piedmont (1-1-0) scored the match's first goal in the 22nd minute when Amanda Weinhart found the back of the net. The Lions added another a little over two minutes into the second half when Cassie Kirk converted a rebound in front of the goal.
 
Gipson bended her free kick from in front of the LETU bench off the far post and in to cut Piedmont's lead in half. Gipson took another shot 2:02 later, but it went wide left.
 
The Jackets, playing with only two available substitutes, were outshot, 20-3.
 
LETU goalkeeper Kiersten Reeser made five saves, including a nice leaping stop in the 53rd minute when she punched Abby Judge's shot over the goal.
 
Piedmont attempted 12 corner kicks to LeTourneau's one.
 
The YellowJackets will open American Southwest Conference play versus the University of Texas at Dallas 5 p.m. Saturday at home.
