Shreveport - The Centenary women's soccer team continued its stellar regular season on Friday as the Ladies edged Texas Lutheran, 2-1, in a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference match held on Senior Night at a frigid Mayo Field. 

The Ladies (15-1, 6-1 SCAC) won their fifth-straight match and are undefeated at home (8-0) this season. Centenary also clinched no worse than the No. 3 seed in next week's SCAC Women's Soccer Championship in Georgetown, Texas hosted by Southwestern. The Ladies will either be the No. 2 or 3 seed and that will be determined after Sunday's regular-season finale against Southwestern (14-4, 5-2 SCAC) at Noon at Mayo Field. Southwestern defeated St. Thomas, 3-0, on Friday in Houston. 

Texas Lutheran scored first to take a 1-0 lead as Bailey Nimtz found the net just eight minutes into the match but then senior forward Kyra Montes (Shreveport) scored her 10th goal of the season to tie the match in the 23rd minute and that score stood as the teams were tied at the break.

Freshman forward Sydney Bascomb (Mesquite, Texas) scored the game-winning goal in the 63rd minute, her third of the season. The Ladies took 21 shots to just nine for Texas Lutheran, and held a 15-4 advantage at halftime. Both Centenary goalkeepers, freshman Karlie Delhommer (St. Amant, La.) and junior Maggie Pitcher (San Antonio, Texas) played on Friday as Delhommer started and earned her 15th win of the season while Pitcher relieved late in the first half and went the rest of the way for the Ladies, keeping the Bulldogs off of the scoreboard.

Centenary has not lost since dropping a 4-0 decision last month at Trinity. The Ladies will close their regular season on Sunday versus Southwestern (14-4, 5-2 SCAC) in a match set for Noon at Mayo Field. The Ladies will either be the No. 2 or 3 seed and that will be determined after Sunday's finale. Southwestern defeated St. Thomas, 3-0, on Friday in Houston.
