The SMU women’s soccer team used their seniors and ball control Friday afternoon to defeat McNeese State 2-0, but came up on the losing end of a 4-0 match against Texas A&M on Sunday.

The Mustangs came into the tournament as the regular season champions of Conference-USA, and the Cowgirls of McNeese won the Southland Conference Tournament.

After missing several games at the end of the season, including the C-USA Tournament, Olivia O’Rear was back, and she proved it.

In only the 4th minute of the game O’Rear did was she has done all season long, put balls in the net. Off of a pass from Kim Peabody, O’Rear gave the Mustangs an early 1-0 lead.

Then the Mustangs used their defense to shut down the Cowgirls. McNeese did not register a shot in the first half and didn’t get a shot on goal until the 81st minute of the match.

Just one minute later the Mustangs added to their lead.

Susanne Collins was able to get past Shelby Money with a pass coming from Marisa Schieda, putting SMU up 2-0.

Ashley Gunter only faced five shots, with only one on goal. The Mustang defense did not allow the Cowgirls to to gain a rhythm throughout the game.

It was a different story on Sunday.

SMU lost to Texas A&M in the second round of last year’s NCAA Tournament in College Station. The final score of that game was 4-2. This year’s game had a similar fate.

The Mustangs held strong through the first half, not allowing a goal on 15 shots. SMU, however, wasn’t able to even register a shot through the first 45 minutes of the game.

In the 61st minute of the game the Aggies put it away, scoring three goals in four minutes. Two came from Ashlee Pistorius, the second was a penalty shot. Texas A&M put the game away with a fourth goal in the 81st minute.

The Mustangs couldn’t get any offense going as they only registered one shot on goal the entire game, compared to 14 by the Aggies.

It was the final game for seniors Susanne Collins, Morgan Field, Olivia O’Rear and Ashley Watson.

The Mustangs end the season with a 17-5-1 record.
