North Texas Hammers Florida Atlantic 4-0

DENTON, Tex. (10/1/06) - Junior forward Heather Hutyra continued her offensive resurgence with two goals and an assist as the North Texas women’s soccer team routed Florida Atlantic 4-0.

The win extends the North Texas (8-2-2, 4-0) unbeaten streak to seven games overall and at home to 20 games without a loss.

Hutyra’s two goals mark the eighth time in her career that she has had a multi-goal game and the third time that she has done it in back-to-back games.

The Mean Green struck first in the 30^th minute of play as Hutyra beat the Owls (4-6-2, 1-3) defense after a perfect feed from midfielder Dani Slavonic. Hutyra nailed a shot from 20 yards out in the top right corner making it 1-0 North Texas.

North Texas added its second goal of the day late in the first half. With the clock running down, Slavonic quickly fired a perfect corner kick that found Julie Radford in front of the net who headed in the goal with four seconds left in the half.

North Texas made it 3-0 as Kendall Juett notched her eighth goal of the season in the 49^th minute of play.

Hutyra capped the game off with her eighth goal of the year in the 52^nd minute. She slipped past two defenders and goalkeeper Jessica Badders to score and give the Mean Green a 4-0 cushion.

Goalkeeper Kandice Ellis made one save on the afternoon as she played 81 minutes and was relieved by freshman Melanie Peterson who finished up the final nine minutes in goal.

North Texas returns to action on Friday, October 6 as they begin a two-game road trip at Troy.
