LETU Falls to ETBU, 3-1

LONGVIEW, TEXAS – The LeTourneau University women’s soccer team fell to American Southwest Conference East Division rival East Texas Baptist University on Tuesday night, 3-1.

The LadyJackets (4-7-1, 3-6-1) had several opportunities to score that were turned away by Lady Tigers’ goalkeeper Jori Herington.  LadyJacket senior Stevi Peace (Longview/Jakarta International) had four chances stonewalled by Herington.

The Lady Tigers (7-7, 5-5) scored twice in the first 20 minutes.  Cassie Woodard scored 10:23 into the contest when she fired a shot from the 18-yard line past LETU goalkeeper Julie Kohn (Cuyahoga Falls, OH/Cuyahoga Falls HS).  Wendi Wooley scored 10 minutes later when she lofted a free kick into the back of the net.  ETBU’s final goal came with 52 seconds left in the first half when Brooke Adair bended a corner kick into the goal.

The LadyJackets controlled the second half and attacked the goal with abandon.  They out shot the Lady Tigers 12-4 in the second half.  T.C. Willis (Carrollton/R.L. Turner HS) broke through for the LadyJackets when she headed a pass from Becci Vogel (Brooklyn Park, MN/West Lutheran HS) past Herington.

Herington stood strong for the Lady Tigers throughout the second half and came up with a number of saves that kept the LadyJackets at bay.  Herington finished the game with nine saves and Kohn finished with three saves.

The LadyJackets and Lady Tigers were battling for ASC East Division standing.  ETBU remains in fifth place and LETU sits in sixth place.
