SHERMAN, Texas - After going unbeaten in the month of September, the Austin College women's soccer team was handed its first defeat of the year on Friday evening in a 2-0 loss to visiting Southwestern University. The 'Roos are now 6-1-2 overall and 0-1 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

The Pirates managed to get on the board early, as Sydney Boswell tallied in the 14th minute of action to make it a 1-0 game. That goal was just the second given up all season by the 'Roos. Southwestern continued on the offensive throughout the opening half, holding an 11-to-5 shot advantage, but Austin College came out as the aggressor after halftime. The 'Roos created several scoring opportunities but were unable to convert, and the Pirates were able to add an insurance goal late when Meredith Lannan scored at the 83:01 mark to make it 2-0.

Austin College held a 10-to-7 shot advantage in the second half, and both teams earned four second half corner kicks. Kenedie Lane made six saves in goal for the 'Roos, while Kali Esquivel-Serna stopped all five shots she faced.
