Texas State presented several opportunities in the first half, but struggled to connect on eight shots. Defensively, the Bobcats managed to shut down the Huskies' offense, allowing just one shot.


 
The Bobcats proceeded to open up the second half with a strong urge of control, keeping the ball on their half of the field for the majority of the first 25 minutes of the half. Houston Baptist, however, picked up the momentum late in the second half, down 1-0, producing several corner opportunities that fell short of finding the back of the net. The Huskies finished the second half just two shots shy of the Bobcats with six.
 
Along with Hormuth, freshman Elizabeth Havenhill earned the start as a defender for Texas State.


 
Caitlynn Rinehart put in all 90 minutes in goal while recording five saves. Lynsey Curry led all Bobcats with four shots and Hormuth finished the game with three shots, two of which were on goal.
 
Texas State will now practice for the next week before traveling to UTEP to open up the 2014 regular season on August 22. The Bobcats will begin against the Miners at 7 p.m. Central Time.
