CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Just one touch decided the outcome Wednesday evening as UTSA recorded a 1-0 tally over the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer program at Dugan Stadium.
 
The only score came in the 32nd minute when Kendall Kloza finished off a corner kick for UTSA (4-1). The Islanders (1-2) pressured late, but just couldn't garner the equalizer.
 
"I was proud of the ladies tonight. We fought really well, got 15 underclassmen into the game and only allowed a goal off a corner. It's a good building block for this week," said head coach Craig Shaw.
 
Freshman Megan Guy paced the offense in her first career start with a pair of shots. Also with shots were senior Reaghan Lang and freshman Raegan Sharer.
 
Sophomore Kennedy Stelling kept the Islanders in the game the whole way and made six saves in net. She made her second consecutive start.
 
Logging 90 minutes in the match were junior Emma Gibbs, sophomore Emma Herrera and freshman Emma Crump. Herrera has played all 270 minutes on the year.
 
The Roadrunners were coming off wins over Tulsa, Cal Baptist and Grand Canyon. Their only loss was to 16th-ranked Oklahoma State. Ellis Patterson and Halee Griffin notched three shots apiece.
 
It marked the first of three games in five days for A&M-Corpus Christi, which will hit the road Friday for a 7 p.m. game at Prairie View A&M.
