SHERMAN, Texas – The Austin College women's soccer team surrendered a goal in each half and found themselves out-shot 31-11, as the 'Roos fell to Texas Lutheran 2-0 on Sunday afternoon. Austin College is now 2-4 overall and 1-2 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

That's how things would end, as Maya Erwin made 10 saves for the 'Roos in defeat while Stephanie Barrientos and Mikaela Gilbert combining for six saves for the Bulldogs.
