SHAWNEE, Okla. – The Bulldogs picked up a 2-0 victory over Oklahoma Baptist on Saturday night as
Courtney Flores posted her eighth shutout of the season to see SWOSU back into a tie with Harding for the conference lead.
With the clean sheet, Flores now owns 17 clean sheets in a sterling career for the Bulldogs. The mark sets not only the program record, but also the Great American Conference record for most shutouts in a career. Former Bulldog Corey LaMoureaux previously held both records with 16 in a two year standout career.
The Bulldogs got on the board early thanks to
Charlotte Eastman. After bombarding the Lady Bison's goal throughout the first nine minutes, Eastman collected the rebound off a blocked
Dajhane Turner shot and slotted it past OKBU's Emma Beck in 10th minute. Despite a dominating 12-2 advantage in shots Beck picked up three more saves to keep the floodgates from opening. Flores, for her part, was untroubled by the one shot Oklahoma Baptist managed to put on goal in the first 45 minutes of play.
Though the second half was relatively tame, the teams combined for 11 shots, Eastman found a way to bag her second of the match off a free kick in the 80th minute. It was the second goal Eastman has scored directly from a set piece this season, with the first coming against Northwestern Oklahoma State. With the brace, the senior now has three goals on the season.
SWOSU (9-2-1, 5-0-1) remains unbeaten in conference play this season, and needs just one more win for the program's third 10-win season. The Bulldogs resume action with an rivalry match against Northwestern in Alva, Oklahoma, on Tuesday, October 13 at 6 pm.
