DENTON, Texas -
Alex Jacinto picked up three saves en route to her sixth shutout of the season, while
Keely Chapman and
Rachel Loetzer added goals as the Texas Woman's University soccer team (6-1-2, 3-1-0 Lone Star Conference) picked up a 2-0 win over Texas A&M International (1-8-0, 0-4-0) on Saturday at Dustdevil Field.
"Alex came up big for us with a great PK save," said head coach
Babak Abouzar. "Not too long after that, Keely finished a nice goal right outside the box from a great feed from (Hayley) Masoner. We have been putting some time in practice focusing on set pieces so it was very nice to see Mya serve a great ball in that Rachel finished. Winning on the road in the LSC is hard and we were able to accomplish that today."
TAMIU had the first three shots on goal - in the 11th minute and the penalty kick in the 17th minute before Jacinto picked up her third save in the 31st minute before Chapman's third goal of the season put the Pioneers on the board in the 34th minute.
The Dustdevils would not manage another shot on goal, and Loetzer's goal in the 78th minute gave TWU insurance, as the stingy TWU defense kept TAMIU at bay.
The Pioneers held a 14-9 advantage in shots - including a 7-3 advantage in shots on goal, while TWU had a 5-1 advantage in corner kicks.
TWU returns to action on Wednesday, October 6, hosting No. 12 Dallas Baptist in a 7 p.m. matchup at the Pioneer Soccer Park.
