ADA – The East Central University soccer team picked up its second-straight win, with a 2-1 victory over Eastern New Mexico in non-conference action at Tiger Field.
The Tigers (2-3) were led by junior Kendall Cook, who tallied two shots on goal and a goal. Junior Chloe Hull earned her first win in net, allowing one goal and stopping five shots.
ECU started the scoring at 26:28 in the first half, when Cook sent in a shot from the middle of the field at the top of the box. She was assisted on the goal by junior Summer Whalen.
The second goal of the game was scored for the Tigers, but it was scored by a Greyhound (0-3-2) defender as an own goal. The ball deflected in on the right side of the net after a corner kick by junior Kendall Smith.
ENMU managed to get on the scoreboard at the 65-minute mark in the second half, cutting the deficit to one (2-1). Despite an increased push by the Greyhounds through the rest of the match, the Tigers held on for the 2-1 victory.
ECU will now get ready for their final non-conference match of the season, Saturday, Sept. 16 when they host Southwestern Christian at 2 p.m. at Tiger Field.
