Bears’ Strong Second Half Seals Victory

CONWAY, Ark. – The Central Arkansas women's soccer team returned to the pitch on Sunday for a non-conference matchup with the ORU Golden Eagles. Three Bears found the back of the net to secure the 3-1 victory. With the win, UCA improves to 2-4 on the season, while ORU falls to 2-3-1.
 
Morgan Rollow and the Bears came out of the gates swinging, as she put a shot on net, but the ORU keeper made the stop. At the three-minute mark, Emma Hawkins blasted a shot towards the top of the net, but the Golden Eagle goalie parried the ball just over the crossbar.
 
ORU put its first ball on net in the 15th minute, but Keyla Perez was there to keep the Golden Eagles off of the scoreboard.
 
At the 18-minute mark, Laurel Landry sent a perfect through ball into the box to find the foot of Hawkins. Hawkins wasted no time as she rocketed a shot to the lower, near post to put UCA up 1-0.
 
Just under the 23-minute mark of play, ORU sent a shot on net, but Perez came up with another stop to keep the 1-0 advantage.
 
Pamela Caballeros, of ORU, found the back of the net for the equalizer at the 24-minute mark.
 
At the 42-minute mark, Anna Kerr recorded a shot on net, but the ORU keeper made the save and sent the match to the half level.
 
Just 18 seconds into the second half, ORU's Sophie Nash sent a shot to the lower left side, but Perez came up with another big stop.
 
Landry recorded the first shot on target for the Bears in the second half and she made it count. She controlled a deflection and blasted a shot to the lower, left corner of the net to put the Bears up 2-1 at the 52-minute mark. At the 55-minute mark, Rollow sent a well-placed shot to the upper right corner just out of reach of the keeper and extended the UCA lead to 3-1.
 
Less than a minute later, ORU's Samantha Guzman ripped a shot to the lower, right corner of the net, but Perez made a spectacular diving save to prevent ORU from cutting into the UCA lead.
 
The Bears continued to pressure at the 62-minute mark as Hadley Dickson put a shot on target, but was unable to sneak it past the ORU goalie.
 
Neither team put a shot on target the remainder of the match.
 
Hawkins has now scored in three consecutive matches for UCA as she tallied her fifth on the season. Landry notched her first goal of the season and added an assist. Rollow posted her first goal of the year. Perez played the full 90 minutes in goal for the Bears and improved to 2-1 on the season. She recorded six saves in the winning effort.
 
Louisa Ramsauer fell to 2-3-1 on the year in net for ORU. She made four saves in Sunday's contest. Caballeros tallied her fifth goal of the season.
 
UCA returns to the friendly confines of the Bill Stephens Soccer Complex on Friday, Sept. 10, as the Lady Lions of Arkansas-Pine Bluff make the trip to Conway. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
 
From the Coach – Head Coach Jeremy Bishop
"It was another great effort just like Thursday night, but tonight we saw it out. We played the full 90 minutes and didn't have any lapses late. That's what we can do when we play the full 90. We came to work Friday and Saturday. It's a great group and we'll get better and better week after week. Big plays give you energy. We had some good stuff going on with Rollow taking people on. Keyla came up with a huge diving save and gave us momentum."
