Women- ORU 2, SMU 1

[BlueGold]

Kaily Cox with the winner in the 87th minute as ORU (1-2-2) wins its first game of the season 2-1 at SMU!  ORU had taken the lead in the 26th minute on a goal by Madison Valenzuela but SMU tied it on a successful penalty kick in the 60th minute.  

 

Some notes:

- The team is now on a three-game unbeaten streak.  They tied the previous two games before winning today.

- The win was ORU's first ever at SMU.  The Golden Eagles had been 0-5-1 in Dallas all-time before today.

- Helen Erb replaced Maddie Rhodes in goal for ORU to start the second half.  It was Erb's first game since last September at OU, when she suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.  She made five saves in the second half to help the Golden Eagles to this win.

- With her goal, Madison Valenzuela has now either scored or assisted on four of ORU's five goals this season.  She has three assists.

- Freshman Caitlyn Hanslovan picked up her first career point with an assist on Cox's game-winning goal.

 

Next up:  This Sunday (1pm) at Houston Baptist.

 

Go Eagles!!
