WEATHERFORD, Okla. – Following a scoreless first half, the SWOSU Soccer team rallied for three goals in the second and defeated East Central 3-1 on Saturday morning to complete a season-sweep of the Tigers.
SWOSU got two goals in the opening six minutes of the second half, first from
Hannah Burks in the opening minute before
Sandra Nabweteme made it 2-0 off an assist from
Brenna McGuirk. ECU's answer came in the 59th minute with an unassisted goal from Lizette Carreon, but that would be all they get before SWOSU added a goal from
Brianna Benitez in the final five minutes.
The Bulldogs finished with an advantage of 17-6 in shots, getting a team-high six from Benitez and a combined 14 of those from the three players who scored goals in the match.
Kirstyn Dill faced four shots on goal and made three saves for the win.
