LAST TIME OUT
UT Tyler women's soccer took the pitch for the first time in Lone Star Conference play as they welcomed UT Permian Basin to Citizens 1st Bank-Perkins Soccer Complex. The Patriots offensive dominance at home continued as they handed the Falcons a five-to-zero loss. Lexi Luff broke through to give the Patriots the lead early, as the sophomore found the back of the net in the 14th minute thanks to a nice assist by Celine Diaz. The Patriots would double the lead just 11 minutes later thanks to an Ella Anderson goal that was set up by Luff. UT Tyler then hit the road to Laredo to take on Texas A&M International. It was a balanced attack for the Patriots who took down the Dustdevils two-nothing. The Patriots controlled the match from the opening whistle, out shooting the TAMIU 17-three. UT Tyler finally broke through in the 40th minute. After a UT Tyler throw in, Lily Moreno found the loose ball inside the penalty area and delivered a cross body shot into the back of the net for the first goal of the match. The score was Moreno's first goal of the season and ended up being the game-winner.
