WT Races Past the Lobos for a Lone Star Conference Win

CANYON, Texas – The Lady Buffs picked up their first Lone Star Conference victory of the season on Saturday afternoon as they claimed a 2-0 shutout of Sul Ross State at The Pitch in Canyon.
 
The match began with WT asserting early pressure against Sul Ross State, with Sarah Hernandez Lopez's shot testing the opposing goalkeeper in the ninth minute. The persistent offensive efforts culminated when Aaliyah McPeak found the back of the net at the 17:57 mark, assisted by Bailey Malone, putting the Lady Buffs up 1-0.
 
Throughout the first half, the Lady Buffs maintained the offensive momentum, generating multiple corner kicks and shots on goal, including attempts by Jezmin Castellanos Reyes and Jordan Bearden. Despite numerous attempts, the score remained unchanged as WT carried a 1-0 lead into halftime.
 
The second half began with the Lady Buffs capitalizing early as Hernandez Lopez scored off an assist from McPeak in the 48th minute, extending their lead. WT maintained pressure throughout the period, generating several scoring opportunities, though SRSU goalkeeper, Emmy Finlinson, managed to make crucial saves to prevent further goals.
 
Despite consistent efforts and multiple shots from players like Alicia Cohen and Lauren Stokes, the Lady Buffs' attempts were thwarted by Finlinson's defensive play. As the half closed, WT held their 2-0 advantage, successfully keeping Sul Ross State scoreless and securing the win.
 
McPeak scored a goal and added an assist, securing the game-winning goal for the Lady Buffs. Castellanos Reyes led the defense with four shots, showcasing offensive pressure from the backline. Malone provided a key assist, helping to maintain the team's attacking momentum. Franciezca Blancaflor recorded a shutout, facing one shot and securing the win in goal.
 
Emmy Finlinson stood out for Sul Ross State, recording six saves across 90 minutes, facing 20 shots during the match. Kiersten Rowland was the only player to register a shot, though it did not result in a goal. Despite the defensive efforts, the team's offensive production remained low, affecting their ability to capitalize on the opportunities created.
