Box Score

NACOGDOCHES - For the second straight game, the Bobcats put nine goals in the net and grabbed a victory from The Citadel (2-4). Texas State (2-6 overall) looks to continue its winning ways in its second game of the Stephen F. Austin Tournament on Sunday when it meets Louisiana Tech.

Sophomore forward Angela Crissy led the Bobcats with a seven-point outing. The San Antonio native scored a hat trick and assisted on a Laura Burden goal in the second half. Jerelyn Lemmie added two goals and continues to lead the Bobcats in scoring (five goals).

Texas State's fourth and fifth goals came off penalty kicks, and were scored by Crissy and Ashley Brown, respectively. With starting goalkeeper Brittany Beltramini out with an ankle sprain, junior Paige Perriraz earned her first win of the season after making four saves and allowing a Miriam Crawford goal in the game's 25th minute.

Natalie Holder, who leads the team with three assists, kicked her first goal of the season to start all scoring at the 1:31 mark. Holder is seeing extra minutes and taking a leadership role for the Bobcats after forward Danielle Holloway suffered a torn ACL two weeks ago.

After being outscored 18-4 in the season's first six games, the Bobcats have outscored their opponents 18-1 in their last two outings.
