DENTON, Texas - The Regis University women's soccer team (2-1) traveled south to Denton, Texas to square off against Texas Woman's University (2-0-1) in their fourth non-conference matchup of the season. After an intense defensive battle which required overtime to settle the dust, Regis fell 0-1, giving the team their first blemish of the season.

How it Happened: The first 45 minutes saw only one shot attempt from a Ranger. Junior Kelby Kuo had the attempt on-goal, but the shot was saved by TWU keeper Alexandra Jacinto. Meanwhile, TWU rattled off eight shots, but only one was on-target. Senior keeper Katelyn Martin stood tall and saved the attempt, keeping the score locked at zero. 

In the final 45 minutes, RU would again only see one shot. This time, senior Hanna Wallgren

had the attempt, but it was wide left. TWU had 10 shots; Martin saved three of them while the others were off-target. 

The final minutes of regular-time ticked off the clock and the team's first overtime since March 1 2020 vs Colorado Mines began. In the 96th minute, freshman Jordan Okada had the sole attempt for Regis, but it was wide left. Shortly after that, Haley Ward of TWU scored and promptly ended the game. 

Here's what Head Coach Kelly Brown had to say about the game, "We were a bit hesitant at the beginning of the match and let the game come to us instead of taking it to them". 

She continued, "It took us a while to get into our rhythm, but once we did, we definitely created some good opportunities, especially in overtime. The weekend isn't over though, now all eyes are on our Sunday match". 

Game Notes: TWU out-shot RU 21 (5) - 4 (1). Okada led the team in shots with two while Kuo had the only attempt on-target for Regis. Martin recorded a season-high four saves through 21 shots faced (another season-high). 

Up Next for the Rangers: As coach Brown stated, the weekend is not over for RU. The team will travel just two hours northwest to Wichita Falls, Texas to battle the Midwestern State University Mustangs (1-2) Sunday at 11 a.m.. You can watch it by clicking here.
