Pirates Top 'Roo Women's Soccer

SHERMAN, Texas - The Austin College women's soccer team put together another outstanding defensive effort, but the 'Roos were unable to get their offense going in a 1-0 defeat at the hands of defending Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference champions Southwestern on Saturday morning. The 'Roos are now 0-3 on the year, with all three defeats coming by 1-0 scores.

The two teams were scoreless through the first 40 minutes of the match, as Austin College keeper Meredith Harris turned the Pirates away seven times in the opening half, but Southwestern's Alexis Guajardo gathered the rebound off of her own saved shot and punched it in to make it 1-0 with just under five minutes remaining until the break. That would remain the score the rest of the way, as Austin College was able to keep the Pirates at bay but were only able to come away with three shots in the game.

Harris made 10 saves for Austin College, who head out on the road next weekend to take on Texas Lutheran on Friday evening in Seguin.
