SAN ANGELO, Texas (October 22, 2022) – On the road at Angelo State, the Texas Woman's soccer team fell to the Rambelles 3-0.
TWU (1-8-6, 1-4-5) conceded three goals in the first half of action to ASU, who is among the top eight teams in the South Central Region, (12-2-2, 7-2-1) to drop their fourth Lone Star Conference match.
The Rambelles, who have not lost a match at ASU Soccer Field this season, connected with the back of the net early on against the Pioneers, scoring their first two goals within the first five minutes of action.
The Pioneers looked to limit the chances for ASU; nevertheless, the Rambelles found their third goal of the match in the 16th minute of action.
After the third goal by the Rambelles, TWU responded with a shot on a goal by
Abby Powers, but the shot was narrowly saved by the Rambelles' keeper. The Pioneers would record two more shots in the first half, one by
Avery Simmons and one by
Dylann Vollaro, but neither could find the back of the net.
In the second half, TWU prevented the attacks from the Rambelles and did not allow another goal to be scored.
On the offensive end, the Pioneers recorded three shots in the second half, as they looked to make strides against the Rambelles. However, the shots were all off frame.
Freshman
Kailey Wehrmann started for the first time in her career today, recording a career high eight saves in the match.
"The first 15-20 minutes of the game we really struggled to connect and play our game, and Angelo took advantage of that," TWU Head Coach
Babak Abouzar said. "In the second half, we came out more with a sense of urgency, competed, and went toe-to-toe with them, which was promising to see. We have two games left,with the next one being at home. We need to come out with the passion and intensity we know we're capable of having."
The Pioneers will be back at home at Pioneer Soccer Park for their final home match of the season on Tuesday, October 25 at 7 p.m. against Midwestern State.
