SAN MARCOS, Texas – Junior forward
Constance Agyemang recorded a brace Thursday night in helping lead Texas State (3-1-1) to a 5-1 victory over Stephen F. Austin (0-2-2) at the Bobcat Soccer Complex.
Â
Matsuri Tsutsui also had a big performance on the pitch. The freshman netted her first collegiate goal and recorded two assists. Also tallying a goal was
Katrin Agustsdottir, who now leads the team with four.
Â
Finishing with an assist apiece were
Sydney Bassa,
Lilah Dupree ang Agustsdottir.
Â
In goal,
Brooklyn Escobar made four saves with three coming over the final 45 minutes of action.
Â
The scoring got started midway through the eighth minute when Tsutsui sent a low pass to Agustsdottir. The Icelandic forward flicked the ball forward that Agyemang ran onto and slotted past the goalkeeper.
Â
Just over two minutes later, Tsutsui sent in a corner kick from the left side. The Lumberjacks' goalkeeper leapt and saw the ball slip through her fingers. The ball then bounced off the back of a defender's head and into the back of the net for an own goal.
Â
SFA would get on the board when Logan Heausler hit a left-footed shot from 20 yards out into the top right corner late in the 22nd minute.
Â
Agustsdottir received a pass from Tsutsui and turned towards goal. The freshman unleashed a shot from 25 yards out that landed inside the left post to make it a 3-1 advantage nearly four minutes into the second half.
Â
Late in the 63rd minute,
Chloe Jones was tripped up just outside the top of the 18-yard box. Tsutsui took the free kick, sending the ball low past the wall of defender and just past the diving keeper to make it a three-goal lead.
Â
Agyemang wrapped up the scoring in the 72nd minute. The Ghanan drove into the right side of the box and sent in a cross attempt. The ball ended up in the back of the net instead for her second goal of the evening.
Â
Next up for the Bobcats is a meeting with 20th-ranked Oklahoma next Thursday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. from the Bobcat Soccer Complex.
