POST GAME AUDIO: Head Coach Steve Jones     

     FORT WORTH, Texas - Junior Jessica Carrion scored in the 18th minute of the game, but Eastern New Mexico tallied three unanswered goals to defeat Texas Wesleyan, 3-1, in the Lady Rams' season opener Friday afternoon at Martin Field.

     Texas Wesleyan (0-1) put the pressure on Eastern New Mexico (1-0) early with Carrion's goal off of a cross from sophomore Rose Fernandez.

     The Zias fought back just two minutes later when Megan Dozier scored on a breakaway in the 20th minute. Karly Parkans then put the game away in the second half with two goals for the final margin.

     Eastern New Mexico outshot the Lady Rams, 9-7 for the game and 6-1 in the second half.

     "We started off nice, but lost the intensity after we scored our first goal," head coach Steve Jones said. "We have a lot of new faces and the communication between the players is just not there yet."

     Texas Wesleyan will be back in action when they play host to Oklahoma Christian at Martin Field. Game time is set for 1 p.m.
