DENTON, Texas - The Texas Woman's University soccer team (6-2-2, 3-2-0 Lone Star Conference) came up on the short end of a 1-0 decision against No. 18 Dallas Baptist (8-2-0, 4-1-0) on Wednesday night at the Pioneer Soccer Park. 

"I'm disappointed in today's result but I couldn't be more proud of our team and how we played in the 2nd half," said head coach Babak Abouzar. "We made things very difficult for DBU and created some good opportunities that we just didn't capitalize on. At the end of the day I just feel like we ran out of time. If we are able to put two quality halves together we will be a tough team to beat. That will be our focus going into Saturday's game."

The lone goal of the contest came in the 14th minute, when DBU's Summerlyn Heller found the net to give the Patriots a 1-0 advantage. 

DBU was able to limit the Pioneers' offensive opportunities to one shot on goal each half, with the Pioneers' first opportunity coming in the fifth minute and the second coming in the 78th minute. Meanwhile, DBU fired five shots on goal in the second half, however freshman keeper Alex Jacinto stopped all five shots to keep the contest at 1-0. The Pioneers did create some opportunities in the second half with a 7-2 advantage in corner kicks, but were unable to convert. 

Stephanie Garcia fired a trio of shots, with one on goal, with Keely Chapman adding a pair of shots, with one on goal. DBU held a 9-7 advantage in shots with a 6-2 advantage in shots on goal, while the Pioneers held a 9-6 overall advantage in corner kicks. 

The Pioneers take to the road this coming weekend for a 1 p.m. matchup at UT Permian Basin.
