It’s the end of the regular season for women’s soccer, and the Wildcats finished on top. Head Coach Casey Wilson praised the talent on this year’s team – a talent that has showed.
The chemistry on the front line never ceased to impress opponents and fans, tallying 22 goals this season. Junior Courtney Wilson was the leader in goals this season with five, while senior Jordan Reese led the stats sheet with four assists.
The Wildcats ended their season 10-6-2 and 5-3-2 in the Lone Star Conference. Now, it all boils down to how they play in the tournament against Midwestern State on Thursday.
Because of Friday’s loss against Midwestern in the last regular-season game, the Wildcats didn’t get the first round bye they were looking for in the tournament. ACU is now the fourth seed; Central Oklahoma still leads the conference, followed by West Texas A&M and Midwestern.
The Wildcats have a good chance at going far in the tournament, with only six losses in the entire season. Shots on goal, however, are a key factor for a win – the Wildcats’ losses came when their opponents’ shots on goal outnumbered their own. If the ladies keep playing how they have been, though, it might be wise to put your money on them.
