THE RUNDOWN
No. 9 DBU found two goals in the second half to pass Texas Woman's in the Lone Star Conference tournament semifinals. Annie Severide scored the equalizer and Anne Louthan found the game-winning goal all in the span of six minutes.
In the first half, the TWU Pioneers took control early, scoring in the 16th minute off a shot by Giselle Gutierrez. The Pioneers were outshooting the Patriots until the end of the half, when they reached seven shots apiece. The No. 6 offense in the nation did not find momentum until the second half, when DBU's midfield was able to move the ball down the pitch. Joeli Benson found Annie Severide outside the box, who dribbled past a TWU defender and found the equalizer in the top left corner of the net. Six minutes later, Sophie Schrock's pass to Haley Roberson led to a cross across the pitch and a powerful header goal by Anne Louthan to give the Patriots the lead.
In the final moments of the match, senior goalkeeper Breanna Bowen earned two crucial saves to preserve the Patriot lead. DBU earned their 15th win of the season in a 2-1 final against Texas Woman's.
