 Texas
A&M International Ruins SU's Home Opener

Sophomore Kaitlyn Moore scored SU's first goal of
the season.
Visiting Texas A&M International used a three goal
outburst in the first half to take command of their
match with Schreiner. TAMUI, an NCAA Division
II (scholarship) program, won the match 5-1.
The Dustdevils (1-3) scored three minutes into the
match to go ahead 1-0. Schreiner (0-2)
answered right back at the 17 minute mark of the
first half on sophomore Kaitlyn Moore's goal (assist
to sophomore Alyssa Fordyce) to even the score at
one apiece. It was the remaining 28 minutes of
the first half that the Schreiner defense would like
to forget. TAMUI scored three times during the
span and were comfortably ahead 4-1 at halftime.
In the second half, Schreiner put in a much-more
inspired defensive effort and controlled the action
for a good part of the half. Still, the team
couldn't hit the back of the net. Texas A&M
International added one more goal midway through the
second half and that completed the scoring.
The injury bug continues to hurt Schreiner as only
12 players started the match. One player was
injured in the first half and didn't return.
When senior Stephanie Crane started suffering from
leg cramps and had to leave the match in the second
half, the Mountaineers played the rest of the way
with only 10 players. Fortunately, none of the
injuries is considered serious and SU should add a
couple other players who've been out with minor
injuries as the team plays three matches this week. SU's senior goalkeeper, Susan Burger, who had never
played goalkeeper in college prior to last week, had
10 saves against the five goals allowed.
Freshman Alix Aderman led the Mountaineers with two
shots in the match. |
