The UTB/TSC women's soccer hits the road for the start of a stretch of five straight road games when the Scorpions meet Lamar University at 7 p.m. Friday at LU Soccer Complex.

     

Aliesha Cassie, a senior who returned to UTB/TSC after a two-year absence, was named Red River Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week for the period Aug. 23-29.

Cassie was a defensive force for the Scorpions from her center back position in two games last week. UTB/TSC tied ninth-ranked William Carey University, 1-1, and blanked women's soccer newcomer University of Houston-Victoria, 2-0.

Against a very strong and talented William Carey squad, the Scorpions battled evenly. WCU had only five shots on goal, partly because of Cassie's defensive presence during the 90 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime.

The first victory of the season is always a good one, no matter the final outcome.

UTB/TSC shut down The University of Houston-Victoria, 2-0, in the Scorpion Soccer Classic at REK Center Field Sunday night with Verena Wonsikowski scoring both goals.

One night after a 1-1 tie with William Carey University, the ninth-ranked team in the NAIA, the Scorpions can now boast a 1-0-1 record.
