SHAWNEE -- The Oklahoma Baptist women's soccer team fell 4-0 to Southwestern Oklahoma State on Wednesday evening at the OBU Soccer Complex.  The Bulldogs controlled play throughout, outshooting OBU 26-8 and scoring once in the first half before adding three goals after halftime.

Southwestern broke through in the 31st minute when Kinsey Geasland finished a cross from Braelee Epp to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. Despite the early deficit, the Bison defense and goalkeepers Emilia Gallego and Makenzie Christian combined for nine saves to keep OBU within striking distance for much of the contest.

The Bulldogs created consistent pressure, placing 13 shots on goal. Christian recorded six saves in just over 52 minutes of action after entering late in the opening half, while Gallego added three stops before exiting due to injury.

OBU generated all eight of its shots in the second half and tested Southwestern keeper Emma Young twice. Susanna Predtechenskis led the Bison attack with three shots and both of the team's attempts on target. Hope White, Annelis Perez, Ajae Belliston, Addison Gray and Jordan Jaye each added shots as Oklahoma Baptist looked for a breakthrough.

Southwestern extended its lead midway through the second half with goals from Saoirse Hourigan in the 67th minute and Epp less than two minutes later. Krysta Hook capped the scoring with a goal in the 82nd minute. Geasland finished with a goal and two assists to pace the Bulldogs offensively.

The Bison (2-12-1, 1-8-1 GAC) return home on Saturday, Oct. 31 at 6 p.m. for another GAC match against Southern Nazarene.
