Mean Green Shutout Northwestern State, 3-0

DENTON — The UNT women's soccer team outshot Northwestern State 22-4 in route to a 3-0 home opening victory Sunday night at the Mean Green soccer and Track & Field stadium.
The Mean Green (2-0) got goals Sunday from sophomore Kat Burnell in the 11th minute, junior Bailey Wesco in the 15th minute and sophomore Summer Brown scored her second goal of the young season in the 56th minute.
Through two matches, North Texas has yet to give up a goal this season and has won each of the matches by a score of 3-0.
"We've got a lot of depth in the back," said freshman defender Sarah Peyton Webb. "And we're still pretty new but we're getting pretty comfortable and keeping opponents from getting good looks."
UNT is now 26-2-1 all-time in home openers.
The man who has led the program since its birth in 1995, John Hedlund, creeped closer to the 400-win mark after Sunday's win over the Lady Demons (0-1) as he collected his 387th career victory. He ranks 10th in the nation among active DI women's soccer head coaches but fourth among coaches who have been at just one university.
Scoring goals was not a concern for Hedlund going into the season and on Sunday the Mean Green showed why as not only did they score three again but now five different players for UNT have found the back of the net.
The Mean Green next hit the road again as they travel to Texas State on Thursday. First kick is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CT. Texas State will also enter the match with a 2-0 record and has outscored its opponents by a combined score of 8-2 so far.
Olympic Sport Passes for this season's Mean Green volleyball, soccer and softball seasons are available now. Fans can purchase a general admission Olympic Sport Pass for $75 and receive season tickets for all three teams.
