DENTON, Texas (Oct. 20, 2017) - Haley Ward scored for Texas Woman's University in a 1-1 double overtime tie with Eastern New Mexico Friday night at TWU Soccer Field.

With less than 10 minutes to play, ENMU's Ariel Lopez dribbled past a Pioneer defender into the six-yard box and connected into the low left corner of the goal to tie the game at 1-1.
 
The Pioneers currently sit in sixth place in the Lone Star Conference standings with three games remaining. The top six teams in the league earn a berth in the LSC Tournament.
 
Head Coach Babak Abouzar said, "We played a really good first half. Our goal started with Margaret Torres carrying the ball and finding Haley who did a great job beating her defender and scoring a nice goal. In the second half we let the wind get the best of us and stopped playing our game. We will regroup and get ready for WT on Sunday."
