SWOSU Sets Win Mark, Defeat TWU 2-0

October 16, 2005

Weatherford, OK - Southwestern Oklahoma State kept its women’s soccer season on a stirring run, shutting out Texas Woman’s, 2-0, Sunday in Weatherford.

The victory evened the Bulldogs record at 7-7 overall and established a record for the most wins in a season. The Bulldogs previous best was six victories in 2002. More importantly it kept the Bulldogs in the hunt for a berth in the six-team Lone Star Conference postseason tournament. SWOSU is now 2-3 in league play and most likely will need victories in two of its final four games to qualify for the tournament.

SWOSU scored first when Michelle Wilson took a pass from teammate Amy Snedeker and sent a kick soaring over the head of TWU keeper Krista Elbert. The score gave SWOSU a 1-0 lead with 14 minutes played.

The Bulldogs added a second goal when Emily Rodawalt scored on after a nifty one-on-one move against the keeper in the game’s 70th minute.

SWOSU goalkeeper Lindsey Crook recorded her fifth shutout in the last eight games. She came up with a season-best 10 saves to preserve the shutout.

SWOSU will next play Friday at West Texas A&M and Sunday at Eastern New Mexico before returning home Friday, Oct. 28 against Angelo State.
