WEATHERFORD, Okla. – A pair of seniors combined for the only goal during SWOSU's 1-0 victory over Oklahoma Baptist on Senior Day. The win put to bed a three-game losing skid as the Bulldogs gear up from the Great American Conference Tournament next week.
Samantha Nunez tied the career record for points set by former SWOSU All-American Josie Price with her goal in the 15th minute of play to put the Bulldogs up 1-0. The senior picked up the ball in Oklahoma Baptist's defensive third before pushing it to
Eva Rule out wide on the right wing. Rule lifted a cross over a pair of Lady Bison defenders, and Nunez met it with her head, placing the ball in the bottom left corner for her ninth goal of the season.
SWOSU failed to put another shot on goal in the half, but also held Oklahoma Baptist to just one shot. That shot was easily saved by
Courtney Flores to preserve the lead. A last-minute corner for the Dawgs came to nothing, and SWOSU entered the break leading 1-0.
The Bulldogs took five more shots in the second half, trying to double the advantage.
Cori Kelly was able to put a shot on goal, but OKBU's Emma beck recorded a save to leave the score line unchanged. SWOSU's defense held the Lady Bison to an additional two shots in the second half, but neither shot threatened Flores.
With the final match of the regular season concluded, SWOSU finishes with an 8-3-1 record in conference play and claims the third seed in the GAC Tournament. The tournament begins on November 5 against No. 2-seeded Ouachita Baptist.
