Box Score
A nine-minute stretch in the second half was the turning point in an otherwise hard fought battle Saturday afternoon, as the Louisiana College Lady Wildcats fell to UT-Tyler 6-0 at Wildcat Field.
 
Trailing 2-0 in the 73rd minute of the second half, the Lady Wildcats were all of a sudden unable to find an answer for UT-Tyler's offensive attack, as the Patriots would go on to score four goals, two of which came from Nikki Gordon, over the next nine minutes.
 
Gordon scored her first goal after she put back a deflection to make it 3-0. April Goodman was then involved on the next two goals, assisting Chestly Strother and Gordon on the following two scoring plays to put UT-Tyler ahead 5-0.
 
Hayley Coggin's goal in 82nd minute, where she was able to hook in a corner kick for a score, was the icing on the cake for the Lady Cats' unfortunate turn of events.
 
UT-Tyler (6-2 on the season), who came into the match as one of the ASC's top teams, was able to hold LC's recently upstart offensive attack to a minimum, allowing just one corner kick, three total shots, and one shot on goal.
 
LC's best look at a score came in the 16th minute when Taylor Bergeron was able to find the back of the net, which would have given LC an early 1-0 lead, but a controversial offsides call took the goal off the board.
 
LC, now 3-8 on the year and 1-3 in conference, will get a six-day break before hitting the road to take on one of the nation's top programs in Hardin-Simmons at 1 p.m. on Friday in Abilene, TX.
