ROUND ROCK, Texas -- The LeTourneau women's soccer team escaped its first road trip with a massive 3-1 win over Concordia Texas on Sunday afternoon at the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex.
Despite its program record six-match win streak ending on Friday, LeTourneau (7-2, 1-1 SCAC) bounced back, earning three critical points and it's first conference win of 2026.
The YellowJackets got their revenge on a Tornado team that defeated them a year ago. The Tornados (2-5-1, 1-1-1 SCAC) were picked third in the SCAC preseason coaches' poll and received a first-place vote.
Concordia took control early, scoring in just the third minute. Maddie Oberholtzer set Isabella Vassallo up on a perfect cross directly in front of the net, allowing for a quick touch goal to put the Tornados ahead 1-0.
However, in the 23rd minute, freshman defensive star
Presley McIrvin found herself in the box following the breakdown of a set piece.
The center back fired a loose ball with her left foot, splitting a pair of defenders and sneaking in by the left post to score her first career goal and tie the match at 1-1.
After a back-and-forth swing of possession to finish the opening half and well into the second, who else but
Chanel Kemball-Cook secured the game-winner in the 79th.
The Kemball-Cook sister connection struck once again, as
Sierra Kemball-Cook sent a cross in from the right side, allowing Chanel to earn a one-on-one opportunity and strike from 10 yards out.
It was the SCAC-leading 12th goal of the season for Kemball-Cook, also marking a new single-season high for the senior. 12 goals ties Kemball-Cook at seventh-most in a single season in program history.
Additionally,
Sierra Kemball-Cook inked her fifth assist of the year, which is tied for the conference lead and already ties for eighth most in a single season in program history.
The door shut in the winding minutes of the match, as a free kick taken by
Jaye Dugan was sent backwards on a clearance attempt, but fell in for an own goal, putting the YellowJackets ahead 3-1 and securing the win.
Kemball-Cook registered three shots on goal, while McIrvin, Dugan, and
Angel Reyes accounted for one apiece.
UP NEXT
LeTourneau will head to Conway, Ark., on Friday, Oct. 9, continuing conference play against Hendrix (5:30 p.m.).
