Soccer Secures 28th Consecutive Winning Season
10/16/2022 3:32:00 PM | Women's Soccer
DENTON — The North Texas women's soccer team beat UTSA at home Sunday afternoon, 3-1. The result seals the program's 28th consecutive winning season.
They've never had a losing season.
"I'm really happy to get this win at home against a very good team," said head coach John Hedlund. "it took a total team effort from our offense and defense. More importantly the win today gave the program a record 28 consecutive winning seasons, which I'm really proud to be a part of."
Sunday's win gives UNT (9-5-2, 5-2-1) 16 points in the league standings keeping them in third place with two regular season matches to go. At the time of the end of Sunday's match they are just two points behind first place.
"The players we bring in and the staff that's around me are what make it all work," Hedlund added.
Allie Byrd started the scoring Sunday in the fifth minute off a corner kick from junior Madi Starrett. Byrd then out jumped the UTSA (7-5-4, 2-3-3) defense and used her head to direct the ball into the bottom corner. Byrd's game remains hot, also having scored in the previous game.
After a tough challenge, the team lost its defensive captain Rachel Roebuck in the 12th minute. But freshman Mia Merritt stepped up in a big way filling in on defense.
In the 36th minute Kat Burnell got on the scoresheet from a Peyton Renfro through ball, leaving her 1v1 with the keeper, neatly slotting it in the goal.
Olivia Klein ended the scoring with a goal in the 61st minute assisted by Avery Barron and Devyn Flannery.
"We just take care of business when we have to. Sometimes we face adversity, but we have to work together as a team," said senior captain Klein on Sunday's game.
Next up for UNT, they go on the road Sunday to take on UTEP at noon CT. The match will be streamed on CUSAtv.
