The Bobcats took advantage as in the 73

Kassi Hormuth scored an unassisted goal as she flicked it over the Lady Panther goalkeeper. Hormuth earned possession of the ball after
Clarissa Leon shot a ball that was blocked by Prairie View A&M. That goal marked Hormuth's first goal of the season and fourth career goal as a Bobcat.
Â
Fourteen minutes later, the Bobcats struck again to solidify their lead over Prairie View A&M. Junior
