Lady Rams bow out of playoffs
November 4, 2003

     HOBBS, N.M. - The Texas Wesleyan women's soccer team's season came to end Tuesday afternoon when they were defeated by College of the Southwest, 2-0, in the semifinals of the Red River Athletic Conference tournament.

     College of the Southwest (13-6-1) opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Kara Dionne knock one from 20 yards out past Texas Wesleyan goalkeeper Katrina Fishback, to put the Lady Mustangs ahead, 1-0.

     The Lady Ram defense held tight and kept the match close, while their offense had a couple of near misses early.

     In the second half College of the Southwest put the game away in the 82nd minute when Sarah Lapchak scored from 25 yards out for the final margin.

     "We had a couple of chances early in the game that could have changed the outcome, but we couldn't capitalize," head coach Steve Jones said. "The girls played hard for the entire 90 minutes and I am really proud of them. They didn't give up."

     The Lady Rams finish the season with a 10-9 record. They end their season in the semifinal round of the conference tournament.

     "We got as far as we did last season," Jones said. "We finished with a winning record for the second consecutive season with a tougher schedule this year. That is something to be proud of."
