ABILENE, TEXAS - A strong attack showing from Abilene Christian proved too much for Central Arkansas women's soccer team as the Bears conceded four goals in a 4-1 loss away from home. After conceding very early, the Bears were able to bounce back temporarily, but just couldn't withstand the constant attack from ACU.
 
First Half
 

• ACU got on the board early in the 5th minute on a goal from Brittany Harris, who slotted it past UCA keeper Clara Bornet for the 1-0 advantage.
• The Bears would equalize in the 20th minute on a Lauren Hargus header on a corner kick. It is her third goal of the season for the Bears.  
• Clara Bornet, who got the starting nod this evening was big for the Bears and kept her team in the match in the 28th minute on a spectacular double save from point blank range. 
• ACU would regain their advantage in the 30th minute on a ball across the box that was finished into the bottom corner. 
• ACU would get their third goal four minutes later on a strike from outside the box that found its way into the top corner, leaving Bornet with little to no chance of saving it. 

 
Second Half
 

• ACU would score their fourth goal early in the second half on a 54th minute strike into the bottom corner. 
• Lauren Hargus would threaten ACU in the 65th minute on a strike down the middle that forced a save from the ACU keeper. Hargus' strike would be the final opportunity created by the Bears in the match. 
• Bornet finished the second half strongly, recording saves in the 70th, 72nd, 82nd and 89th minutes, giving her a career best 10 on the afternoon.
