Brownwood, Texas- The Centenary women's soccer team was blanked 2-0 on Saturday evening by the Howard Payne University Lady Jackets in a non-conference contest at Citizens National Bank Soccer Field.

Howard Payne improved to 4-4 on the season after its second match in three days following a 1-0 loss at home to Austin College on Thursday.
