OKLAHOMA CITY (Nov. 6, 2019) – Texas-Tyler defeated Oklahoma Christian 3-0 on Wednesday afternoon in a women's soccer match ended prematurely by lightning in the area.

The game had been moved up a day from Thursday due to anticipated rain in the area and the storm arrived with a little more than 15 minutes left on the clock. When officials called for a lightning delay, OC coach Meagan Anderson and her Texas-Tyler counterpart, Stefani Webb, agreed to end the match then, with 70 minutes – the minimum required for a game to officially count – having already been played.

Texas-Tyler (6-10, 4-8 Lone Star Conference) picked up goals from Ashleigh Ackroyd in the 20th minute, Landri Edwards in the 32nd minute (off a corner kick by Shaylee Anaya) and Gabi Garcia in the 66th minute. The Patriots outshot OC 15-7.

Denise Bennett and Carson Hazel had two shots each for OC (2-15, 2-10). OC goalkeeper Gabby Goddard made seven saves.

Texas-Tyler used two goalkeepers. Starter Maya Dossing played the first half, making one save, before being relieved by Camri Cecil, who had three saves in the abbreviated second half.

The Eagles will close their season Saturday with a match against Texas A&M-Commerce at 3:30 p.m. OC's three seniors – Oby Okeke, Morgan Boling and Grace Simpson – will be honored before the game.
