A STRONG ROAD EFFORT

The UT Tyler women's soccer team lost for just the second time in 2022 last Saturday in a tightly-contested road match against #10 West Texas A&M. UT Tyler held the lead twice throughout the match, but conceded a pair of West Texas A&M goals less than 10 minutes apart in the 58th and 66th minutes to drop just their second decision of the 2022 season. Senior Jordan Colbert scored less than five minutes into the match, and sophomore Faith Adje gave UT Tyler a second lead in the 55th minute to provide the two goals for the Patriots on the afternoon. The Patriot's two losses in 2022 have both come on the road against ranked opposition in #10 West Texas A&M and #1 DBU.

The Lady Chaps tied West Texas A&M by a 0-0 final in their most recent action on Wednesday night, and also hold a 1-1 tie against #1 DBU. Senior Lexi De La Cruz ranks third in the LSC with eight goals on the year. De La Cruz and freshman Graycen Rasmussen, who has five goals, have provided the majority of the offense for Lubbock Christian. Freshman Abby Kone has played in all 990:00 minutes thus far, and has conceded nine goals in 11 games.
