THE RUNDOWN
The Dallas Baptist Women's Soccer Team completed a seven-game road trip sweeping the entire season-long trek with a 2-1 victory at Newman University. The Patriots moved to 9-1-1 away from the home confines at Patriot Soccer Field, which marks a program high. Eight triumphs was the previous total and had been notched in the 2011 and 2012 campaigns.
 
DBU (11-3-1, 5-1) went head-to-head with the Jets (5-8-2, 1-5-1) trailing for the first time in a Heartland Matchup since dropping a double overtime setback to St. Edward's in the opener.
 
DBU produced an 18-3 shot advantage, limiting the opposition to the same total in consecutive contests. Junior Ashley Cox boasted a game-high six in the match, putting half on goal for a .500 shots on goal percentage.
 
Joining the forward from Midlothian, Texas, were four other players tallying multi-shot efforts: freshman Leah Draper with three, freshman Lindsay McManus giving two, and juniors Lindsey Eccles and Emilie MacDonald contributing a pair as well.
 
Senior Kerry Edwards (11-3-1) helped back another defensive outing with one save. The Patriots' back line was effective as well helping limit the Jets to a trio of attempts and held them off in DBU's sixth one-goal victory.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
Newman's Bianca Torres knocked in a corner kick in the left side to lift the home squad to an early advantage in the first half at the 26:08 mark

Her team leading fourth game-winner occurred in the 83^rd minute of the match.
 
An own goal by NU led to the first scoring result for the Patriots, sending the contest into a 1-1 deadlock at the 35:04 point of things. Eccles kicked a shot nearly on mark that ricocheted off the goal post and inadvertly deflected off a defender for the opposition.

TOP QUOTE
"It has been a long stretch of away games and I think that started to catch up with us a bit today. The girls did a nice job of pushing through and grinding it out for another conference win on the road. We gave up an early goal, but I always felt confident that the girls would find a way to get the equalizer and eventually the winner. That's one thing about this team, they are never out of a match. They showed a great deal of resilience and got the result we needed." – Women's Soccer Head Coach Michelle Lenard.
