\nThe Scorpions opened the scoring when No. 8 Mia Saenz found the back of the net following an assist from No. 28 Abril Martinez.
\nNortheast Texas responded within the opening 10 minutes, with No. 21 Paetyn Shook scoring the equalizer to make it a 1-1 match.
\nThe score remained tied through most of the contest as both teams fought for possession and scoring opportunities under the intense Texas sun.
\nWith eight minutes remaining, No. 23 Jessenia Ibarra scored the game-winning goal off Martinez\u2019s second assist of the match. The Scorpions protected their 2-1 advantage through the final whistle to secure the victory at home.
\nThe win came one day after TSC suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to Paris Junior College.
\n\u201cPlaying two tough matches on back-to-back days really tested our fitness, focus and character,\u201d TSC Women\u2019s Soccer Head Coach Jesus Villareal said. \u201cYesterday was a difficult result because the team fought until the final whistle and deserved more from the match. Today, they responded the way we want them to. They stayed organized, competed for every ball and kept pushing until they found the winning goal. That shows the heart and resilience of this team.\u201d
\nAfter being tested physically and mentally in consecutive matches, the Scorpions closed the demanding stretch with a determined performance and a well-earned home victory.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”10436,10434,10433,10432,10440,10435,10437″ posts_number=”2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#003C71″ title_font_size=”12px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
