Horned Frog kicker wins

Women’s soccer team wins at home 6-0

The women’s soccer team played 68 minutes last season against Centenary, and couldn’t score a goal before the game was canceled because of bad weather.

Tuesday, the Frogs got six.

“It’s what the doctor ordered,” head coach Dave Rubinson said. “We scored some very good goals. It was good to see the young players get to play. A year ago with this team we played a very lazy game. There were a lot of positives today.”

The Frogs (1-1-1) took control early on but did not break through until the 31st minute when senior forward Nicole Carman scored off a pass from freshman Elizabeth Walsh. It was the first goal in a 6-0 TCU win.

After the goal, the Centenary (1-2-0) defense crumbled and left goalie Heather Lindsey helpless to stop the Frogs’ offense, which had 28 shots on goal to Centenary’s seven.

“They were weak back there,” said freshman forward Brianne Yeary, who was the game’s leading scorer with two goals and one assist. “They pulled us offsides a couple of times. But we were able to separate them and get through balls.”

The team scored three times each half, controlling the tempo from the start. The Centenary offense managed only two shots the entire second half, neither of which junior goalkeeper Ruth DeJong had to make an attempt at.

Freshman midfielder Moran Lavi, who had two assists in the game, was also pleased with her team’s effort.

“We played hard,” Lavi said, “and got every ball first. We closed them and they couldn’t get through.”

The team will now look to build off their first win as they head to the west coast this weekend for a matchup with UC-Santa Barbara on Friday, and a date with Pepperdine on Sunday.
