KICKOFF
Dallas Baptist University improved to 9-3-2 with a 5-0 win over Lubbock Christian on Thursday afternoon at Patriot Soccer Field. Forwards Ashley Cox and Maddie Owen scored a pair of goals to fuel the high-scoring attack.
 
Owen, the Heartland Conference leader in assists, found herself on the other side of a scoring play, netting an unassisted goal in the 20th minute to open the scoring. She settled into her normal role two minutes later, crossing a ball to the back side of the net to set up Rebecca Kernen for her second goal of the season.
 
Cox scored in the 32nd and 47th minutes to extend the Patriot lead to 4-0 and increase her season goal total to five. Owen found the net for the second time in the 56th minute on another unassisted goal.
