KICK-OFF
The Dallas Baptist University Women's Soccer team began a five-game roadtrip with a 2-1 extra time victory over Newman on Thursday night in Wichita, Kansas. Rebecca Kernen netted the game winner just over four minutes into overtime after taking on a defender at the top of the box and putting a shot past goalkeeper Kelsi Langley while falling to the ground.

Hope Koym provided the key play of the game, making a save on a penalty kick attempt in the 87th minute to force the game into extra time. Koym made a season-high 11 saves in the match.
