KERRVILLE, Texas — In a thorough team victory, Texas Lutheran recorded its fourth shutout of the season on Sunday, shutting out Schreiner for the second time this season, 4-0. Alyssa Simien (San Antonio/Warren), Klarissa Martinez (Houston/Incarnate Word Academy), and Lilly Noblett (San Antonio/Warren) scored goals for the Bulldogs while Simien, Martinez, Callie Brame (San Antonio/Churchill), and Kelly Wolfe (San Antonio/Churchill) all added assists with Simien tallying a career-high two assists.
TLU (7-4-1, 3-1 SCAC) got out to an early lead in the seventh minute with Simien taking advantage of passes from Brame and Wolfe for her sixth goal of the season.
The Bulldogs would double their lead in quick succession with Klarissa Martinez working a give-and-go with Simien to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead. Simien and Martinez sit atop the SCAC as co-scoring leaders in the conference with six goals each.
The Bulldogs picked up where they left off to start the second half as a pass from Simien and a cross from Martinez set up freshman Lilly Noblett for her fifth goal of the season to increase TLU’s lead to 3-0 in the 49th minute. Noblett leads all SCAC freshmen with five goals and 12 points this season. With the assist, Simien moved into the top ten all-time in program history, tying former teammate Samantha Martinez with 12 assists in her career.
A Callie Brame corner kick led to the Bulldogs final goal as the corner screamed into the box and found the head of a Schreiner Mountaineer who would head it into the net for an own goal for the final goal of the match. It is Schreiner’s second own goal against the Bulldogs this season.
The Bulldogs fired 18 shots on the afternoon and kept constant pressure on the Schreiner backline. Alysa Marquez (Miami, FL/Dr. Michael Krop) and Charleigh Phipps (Dripping Springs/Dripping Springs) combined for the shutout. The Bulldogs defense allowed just four shots by the Mountaineers (1-9-1, 0-3 SCAC) with Phipps making the lone required save on the afternoon.
Up next, the Bulldogs will continue SCAC play on Tuesday, Oct. 15, on the road as they travel to Georgetown to face Southwestern at 7:30 PM in a midweek conference matchup. All streaming and live stats links can be found on tlubulldogs.com.
