Lions blank Islanders to move into second place

COMMERCE – Four goals in front of a packed Lion Soccer Field secured the first shutout of the season for the Texas A&M University-Commerce soccer team, winning 4-0 over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Friday evening.
 
The Lions secured three points in the standings with the win and sit at 3-2 in Southland Conference play, which puts them in a tie with the Islanders for second place in the standings. With the two teams playing just once this season, A&M-Commerce now owns the head-to-head tiebreaker. The Lions are 3-6-1 overall, while Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is 6-4.
 
Mindy Shoffit (Wichita Falls – Rider) opened the scoring in the sixth minute on an assist from Kaitlyn Valaitis (Rowlett – Sachse). The Islanders deflected a corner kick by the Lions, Valaitis gained possession and passed to Shoffit, who cleared it top left from about 13-yards out.
 
The Lions added their second goal of the night in the 40th minute, with Ashley Campuzano (Dallas – Atlas Prep) scoring the first goal of her career, assisted by Karalie Morrison (Colleyville Heritage). Campuzano struck the ball from 10 yards out, going into the bottom left of the goal.
 
The second half began with a goal from Mya Mitchell (Mesquite Horn), her fifth straight match scoring a goal on an assist from Christina Hernandez (Denison). The Lions had multiple shots at an empty net until Mitchell put the ball through the posts. She has six goals and 14 points in conference matches this season, which are bests in the SLC.
 
Valerie Flores (Irving – MacArthur) tallied her first goal of her freshman campaign in the 80th minute with Mitchell assisting on the goal, who crossed into the box and Flores sailed it through.
 
A&M-Commerce outshot Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 20-15, with Jen Peters (Allen) stopping all five shots on goal she faced. Morgan Wesbury had four shots for the Islanders, while Mitchell had five and Valaitis had four for the Lions.
 
Kennedy Sterling started the match in goal for the Islanders and recorded four saves.
