CANYON, Texas – Oklahoma Christian women's soccer finished the regular season with a 0-0 draw at West Texas A&M on Tuesday night, extending its unbeaten run to eight matches and earning the No. 4 seed in the Lone Star Conference Tournament. The Eagles will host a Division II conference tournament match for the first time, taking on No. 5 UT Tyler on Monday, Nov. 2, at 7 p.m. at Eagle Soccer Field in Edmond.
OC finishes 11-4-3 overall and 8-3-3 in conference play, good for 27 points, which matched UT Tyler. The Eagles take the higher seed after the tiebreakers, which started with a 0-0 draw between the teams on Oct. 7 in Edmond.
Breanna Wooten made three saves in 90 minutes on Tuesday for her ninth shutout of the season, stopping Sienna Hurrell in the 35th minute, Alicia Cohen in the 64th and Jade Martinez in the 68th. West Texas A&M's best chance to break through came in the 61st minute, when Sara Soto's shot hit the right woodwork. Riley Sims, a two-time national player of the week this season, took one shot, in the 17th minute, and it missed wide right.
At the other end, Franciezca Blancaflor made two saves for the Buffs, on Caid Jefferson's shot in the eighth minute and Jordan Tanges's in the 78th. OC had two of its 11 shots on target, and West Texas A&M had three of its 12. Tanges led the Eagles with three shots, and Jefferson and Jenna Munson each took two.
It was OC's second straight scoreless draw, after Saturday's 0-0 result at No. 1 DBU. The Eagles are 5-0-3 since a 2-1 loss at Midwestern State on Sept. 30 and have allowed only two goals in that span.
