Kerrville, Texas- The Centenary women's soccer team earned a 1-1 double-overtime tie against the Schreiner Mountaineers on Sunday in a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference contest at Mountaineer Soccer Field.
The Ladies (2-7-1, 0-1-1 SCAC) responded well after falling 8-0 on Friday evening in their conference opener against Trinity in San Antonio. Schreiner is now 0-9-2, 0-0-2 SCAC after Sunday's draw. Centenary snapped its five-game losing streak in which it has been shut out in all five matches.
Centenary struck first in then match as sophomore F Daisy Acosta (Deer Park, Texas) found the net in the 35th minute for an unassisted goal and her second goal of the season. The Ladies' defense stifled the Mountaineers for the majority of the match until Schreiner's Caroline Quiroga scored in the 72nd minute to tie the match off an assist from teammate Phebe Musasa.
Centenary senior GK Avery Sanderson (McKinney, Texas) played all 110 minutes and made three saves. Schreiner keeper Audrey Rivera also went the distance and made five saves. The Ladies out-shot the Mountaineers, 18-9, and each team took six corner kicks.
The Ladies are now 11-6-1 on the road in their last 18 matches which includes a historic win at Alcorn State back on Sept. 8 as they defeated a Division I opponent for the first time in the current division III era (2011-present) with the 2-1 win over the Lady Braves.
Centenary now comes home for the first time in two weeks to face the St. Thomas Celts on Friday, Oct. 8 in a SCAC match set for 5 p.m. at Mayo Field.
