CANYON, Texas – SWOSU were unfortunate not to escape their match with West Texas A&M with a better result after a header with a mere two seconds left in regulation gave the hosts the 1-0 victory on Sunday afternoon.
 
The game started out starved for offense, with the teams combining for just three shots inside the first 20 minutes of play. However, eventually it was Erica Brunet who worked her way in for the game's first shot on goal, though it was saved by WT's McKynzie Zick. With the introduction of Charlotte Eastman and Eva Rule, the flow of the game further titled in the Bulldogs' favor, as the senior pair combined for three shots, while Rule's forced Zick into another save. Despite finishing the half outshooting the Lady Buffs 5-3, including a 2-1 advantage in shots on goal, the two sides would greet the interval knotted up at 0-0.
 
Both teams again struggled to find any offense through large swaths of the second half. Despite forcing three saves by Zick in the final 45 minutes, SWOSU was unable to find the breakthrough necessary to notch their second win on the road this season. Instead, Brady Prescott rose highest to Emily Cassady's second-effort cross from a cleared corner and put the ball in the back of Courtney Flores' goal in the dying embers of the game. It was the first goal scored by West Texas this season.
 
The Bulldogs outshot the Lady Buffs 10-6, but were unable to find a goal for their efforts. Zick proved equal to the chance on all five shots on goal. Flores collected three saves for SWOSU.
 
SWOSU (2-2) returns to action on Thursday, Sept. 17 when they make the trip to Edmond, Okla., to take on Oklahoma Christian at 7 pm.
