The No. 6 seed Texas A&M University-Commerce women's soccer team saw its season end on Thursday with a loss on penalty kicks to No. 3 seed Texas Woman's in the opening round of the Lone Star Conference Tournament in Canyon, Texas.

The two teams played a scoreless 110 minutes until the game had to be decided in a penalty kick shootout. 

The Pioneers' (8-8-2) Halla Ali, Natalie Holovach, Jacqueline Horner and Christine Mendoza converted on their opportunities to advance TWU into Friday's second round against No. 2 seed Central Oklahoma.

A&M-Commerce (10-8-1) sophomore Devon Herrman was the only player to make her attempt for the Lions. 

The Lions out shot TWU by a 13-to-10 margin in the loss.

A&M-Commerce senior goalkeeper Taylor Jordan closed out her A&M-Commerce career with six saves. 

The contest also marks the end of the career for seniors Lacy Alexander, Jennifer Alvarado, Whitney Hancock and Meagan Lasley.
