The women’s soccer team crushed Paul Quinn College (PQC) with a 5-0 win in a Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) matchup on Oct. 5. The Saints improve to 5-3-1 and 4-2 in conference, while PQC drops to 0-5-2 in conference and 0-6-2 overall.
Head Coach Lee Williams praised the team’s resilience, stating, “All credit to Paul Quinn. They changed their tactics and made it difficult for us to score in the first half. But I was really happy with how we exploited the spaces they left and positioned ourselves to create multiple chances in the first half. In the second half, they had to come out a little more as we kept the ball with our defenders. They allowed us to get behind and score in the second half. Everyone contributed this week. It has been a bit of a grueling trip. Two wins away from home is always a big ask, but we were up for the challenge. We are back home now for an actual full week of training and a really exciting game against a local rival. It should be an excellent representative for college soccer in San Antonio!”
