THE LEAD

TWU got their lead in the 25th minute when junior forward Nancy Chavez received the ball off a deflection from a DBU defender and put a shot to the right of goalkeeper Jenna Ackerly. Ackerly made four saves in the match, increasing her season total to 47.

The Patriots placed nine shots on goal and were led by forward Lindsey Eccles with 3, followed by forward Ashley Cox, midfielder Lindsey Washburn and forward Cecily Martinez with two. DBU's record falls to 2-3-1 and Texas Woman's moves to 4-2-1.

COACH MICHELLE LENARD - ON CREATING CHANCES
"I thought we saw a few individuals step up and raise their level and create more shots for themselves. I also think that we just made better decisions on when to shoot and when to pass, but we've got to put more shots on goal. We took a lot of shots but not enough of them were on frame.That's a discipline thing. We've got to practice that."

FRESHMAN MIDFIELDER BIATRIS AREVALO - ON IMPROVEMENT
"We had a good game. I think there are parts we have to improve, but that's a team effort. There's room for improvement. Everyone should want to be the best player."

IN THE NUMBERS
4 - With her four saves, Ackerly moves up to No. 4 in NCAA Division II in total saves.
13 - Down one goal, the Patriots had 13 shots in the second half.
9.4 - Ackerly is averaging 9.4 saves per game, double the program record of 4.7.
