NORMAN, Okla. - The Texas Tech women's soccer team fell this afternoon to the Oklahoma Sooners, 4-0, in Big 12 Conference play in Norman, Okla.
The Sooners (9-2-0, 2-0-0 Big 12) got on the board early as Dawson scored on a free kick over Tech goalkeeper Beth Lippert (Woodinville, Wash.) in the sixth minute to give OU the 1-0 advantage. Lippert played strong in the first period, making five saves as Tech was out shot 16-4. Each team forced one corner kick in the first frame, but Tech could not penetrate the Sooner defense to get a shot on goal.
In the second half, the floodgates opened as the Red Raiders (2-8-0, 0-2-0 Big12) were out shot 11 to 6 and the Sooners poured on three goals. MacIver scored her first goal of the match as she took a pass from Dawson and beat Lippert from 30 yards to push OU's lead to 2-0. A little over seven minutes later, MacIver added her second tally of the match, taking a pass from Shannon Wing and burying it into the back of the net for the 3-0 lead. In the 64th minute, Dawson posted her second goal of the afternoon and gave the Sooners the final margin of 4-0.
Lippert was replaced in the 69th minute by freshman Megan Knauss (Tigard, Ore.) who did not face a shot on goal.
The Red Raiders will return home next weekend to R. P. Fuller Stadium as they battle the Missouri Tigers on Friday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. and the Kansas Jayhawks on Sunday, Oct. 6, at 1 p.m.
