#TIGERSWIN: Two Goals in Two Minutes Equals Big @ETBU_WS Win

SHREVEPORT, Louisiana – Adapting and overcoming a lightning delay, treacherous rain, and an early 1-0 McMurry University lead, the East Texas Baptist University women's soccer team earned an American Southwest Conference win in a come from behind performance, 2-1. ETBU scored two goals in a span of two minutes late in the second half to win the game. ETBU currently is 3-4-1 and 1-3-0-in ASC play.
 
ETBU's two goals came from Cara Hunt and Brianna Mickshaw while Raegan Kappler was the top shooter with three shots. Ashleigh Rondon would have an assist on one of the goals while Maddie Rea would make two saves.  The War Hawks Tagen Hansen scored the only goal for the War Hawks.  Goalkeeper Jordan Gregory made nine saves of the game.
 
All game long, ETBU outshot McM, 15-5, including a 10-2 edge in the second half. They also had the edge in corner kicks with a 7-3 margin.
 
It would take nearly ten minutes into the game before either team would get their first shot of the game. As the game reached the fifteen minute mark, a lightning delay halted the game and both teams would wait for the weather to clear. When play did resume, the War Hawks struck for their first goal from Hansen to lead 1-0 in the 27th minute. The rest of the half would not post well for ETBU as they would struggle to find any opening against McM's defense. Halftime came and the Tigers trailed 1-0.
 
The second half would see a hungrier Tigers squad come out and attack the net aggressively. ETBU was unable to break through to the net for the first 26 minutes of the half. Then came a sequence of events that changed the game. Following a foul on McM, Hunt would equalize on a free kick in the 72nd minute to tie the score. Then, nearly two minutes later, Mickshaw would put ETBU ahead on an assist by Rondon. The War Hawks would have a few opportunities to equalize, but couldn't break through. At the 84th minute of the game, lightning struck again and this time, the game was called with ETBU taking the win.
 
ETBU will be on the road next week when they take on Sul Ross State University on Thursday at 1:00 PM.
