DENTON, Texas - The Texas Woman's University soccer team (2-0-1) turned in a stifling defensive effort, led by 97:25 of scoreless play from keeper Alex Jacinto as the Pioneers picked up a 1-0 overtime win over Regis (2-1-0) on Friday night at the Pioneer Soccer Park. 

"Our team has shown a lot of resilience early in this young season," said head coach Babak Abouzar. "Regis definitely made things difficult for us but we stuck to the game plan and found a way to pull it out. Credit to our backline and GK unit and our overall team defending for getting a clean sheet. 

A Regis defensive cue leading to an own goal in the 98th minute provided the winning margin for TWU.

The Pioneers' defense has now gone over 313 minutes without allowing a goal, dating back to the spring 2020 season finale. 

TWU held a 21-4 advantage in shots, including a 5-1 advantage in shots on goal. Jacinto stopped the lone shot on goal she faced, coming in the 22nd minute. TWU put one shot on goal in the opening half, and added three more in the second half. 

Keely Chapman and McKenzie Rizqi fired four shots, while Alyssa Valdez and Holly Keil added three. 

TWU concludes the weekend with an 11 a.m. matchup against Colorado School of Mines on Sunday, Sept. 12.
