Wildcats Top Performers:
Â
Â
- Taylor Shanas got the party started right, sending one past keeper Hayli Nichols at the 11:43 mark to give LCU the first strike of the day, her second goal of 2023.
Â
- After the Jaguars took the momentum and the lead into the halftime locker rooms, things could have gone sideways for the Orange and Blue, but Maria Alonso Lopez had other ideas as she laced the fourth score of the campaign through the sticks during the 59th minute to notch the equalizer.
Â
- The shot takers Saturday at UHV were as follows; one by Barriga Casallas, two by Alonso Lopez (both on-target), one by Shanas (scored), and two by Emma Monnet (missed wide, scored).
Â
Notes:
Â
- In three all-time meetings between the Wildcats and Jaguars, the home team has never come away victorious as the road team has prevailed in each contest.
Â
- LCU's shot percentage is sure to skyrocket after Saturday's bout, watching three of their four shots-on-goal make it all the way through to the back of the net (75%).
Â
Next:
Â
- The Cats will no longer have to leave the comfort of Wildcat Field for the remainder of the regular season, kicking off its season-ending four-match home stand on Thursday evening against Texas A&M-San Antonio at 5 p.m.
