Box Score

A hat trick and an assist by junior Meagan Lasley led the Texas A&M University-Commerce women's soccer team to a 4-0 shutout win over Harding University on Tuesday afternoon.

The Lions (3-1-1) rebounded from a 4-0 loss to No. 4 UC-San Diego on Saturday for the convincing win over the Lady Bison. After a goal by senior Melissa DoRemus in the third minute of the match, the Mesquite, Texas native found herself as a constant threat to the Harding defensive attack.

DoRemus got the Lions on the board with the first shot by A&M-Commerce, scoring after a flick pass from Lacy Alexander and Lasley that she capitalized with a shot to the bottom left of the goal for the early advantage.

 

Lasley and the Lions attack continued to challenge the Harding defense as their first four shots all went for goals. She scored her first of three goals when she broke through the Harding defense for a 1-on-1 goal to the lower right of the box. Nearly 10 minutes later, she took a long pass from freshman Jordan McCarty and fired it down the center of the goal past the Harding goalkeeper. Lasley completed the hat trick effort in the 40th minute on another breakway goal when she took a flick pass from Alexander to the bottom right of the goal for the 4-0 advantage for the Lions.

 

With Lasley providing the offensive attack, junior goalkeeper Taylor Jordan recorded her second shutout of the season with nine saves in the win for A&M-Commerce. The hat trick by Lasley is the first since by then freshman Melissa DoRemus scored three in a 10-0 rout of East Central on October 9, 2005.

 

A&M-Commerce will remain home for its next match when they face St. Mary's (0-3) on Saturday at 12 noon and the Lions remain at No. 7 in the latest NSCAA/adidas South Central rankings.
