MARSHALL, Texas – For the first time this season, the East Texas Baptist University women's soccer team fell to an opponent in the form of Hendrix 3-0. The loss snaps the unbeaten streak of five games to begin the season for ETBU. Hendrix scored two goals in the first half and added an insurance goal in the second half to pull away from ETBU. Hendrix improves to 7-2 on the season and ETBU drops to 2-1-3.

Hendrix was able to claim an early lead on a shot by Evie Cannon in the 14^th minute of the contest on an assist by Melissa Miller. In the 37^th minute, Hendrix's Lucy Moore scored off of an assist from Symone Bennett. Macie Stultz found the back of the net for Hendrix's third goal of the match in the 49^th minute with an assist from Hagan Griffith.

Both ETBU and Hendrix shot 17 times on the day. ETBU and Hendrix shot six times each in the first half and eleven times in the second half. ETBU led the match with nine shots on goal compared to Hendrix's eight shots on goal. Erin Miller led ETBU with five shots, with three of them being on goal.

“Obviously it is disappointing to lose our first match of the season but give full credit to Hendrix. They imposed their will on us physically, especially in the first half. They made the most of their chances while we failed to capitalize on our opportunities even though we had the same amount of shots as they did.  There is a lot to learn, and we look forward to the opportunity to face LeTourneau on Saturday. We are proud of our non-conference record of 2-1-2 which is an improvement from last year,” said head coach Erik Solberg after the match.

ETBU will once again be on the road this Saturday with an American Southwest Conference match in Longview against LeTourneau University. The match will be a double-header with the men's soccer team as the women's game begins at 5:00 p.m.
