LUBBOCK, Texas (KFDA) – West Texas A&M Women\u2019s Soccer kicked off Lone Star Conference action on Wednesday evening, earning a 1-1 road draw against Lubbock Christian.<\/p>\n
The Lady Buffs seized control almost immediately with aggressive high pressure. <\/p>\n
Just seconds after kickoff, junior Sienna Hurrell forced an LCU turnover deep in the Lady Chaps\u2019 defensive third, intercepting a back pass to the goalkeeper and tucking it into an open net.<\/p>\n
Hurrell\u2019s strike came just 16 seconds in, marking one of the fastest goals in program history, to give WT an instant 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
Controlling the Pace<\/p>\n
Energized by the early strike, WT commanded the opening portion of the match, firing two more shots on frame and creating opportunities off set pieces. <\/p>\n
The Lady Buffs nearly doubled their advantage in the ninth minute, but an apparent second goal was disallowed following an offsides ruling that stood after review.<\/p>\n
Defensively, WT suffocated the Lady Chaps for most of the opening half, conceding just two shots over the first 40 minutes before withstanding a brief, late flurry by LCU to carry a 1-0 edge into halftime.<\/p>\n
Weathering the Equalizer & Late Push<\/p>\n
Lubbock Christian carried late first-half momentum into the second period, ultimately finding the equalizer in the 63rd minute when Kali Guy converted a short corner kick.<\/p>\n
Lady Buff goalkeeper Franciezca Blancaflor kept the match level with consecutive critical saves over the ensuing seven minutes. <\/p>\n
Despite recording two additional shots and a late corner kick in the closing minutes, the Lady Buffs settled for the point on the road.<\/p>\n
