IRVING, Texas - The McMurry University women's soccer team closed the book on the 2017 season by scoring a come-from-behind non-conference win at the University of Dallas, 2-1.  The victory upped the War Hawks' record to 4-14 overall, while the Crusaders fell to 4-13-2.
 
The two teams played to a scoreless first half, with McM holding a narrow lead in shot attempts, 7-6. But in the second 45-minute segment, the War Hawks stepped up their offense and took 15 attempts (to just eight by UD), giving the visitors a 22-14 edge in shot attempts for the match.
 
The Crusaders actually scored first – in the 51st minute – to put pressure on the McM attackers. In the 78th minutes, junior Cristen Lumbreras got the War Hawks even, putting back a rebound off of a free kick to knot the match at 1-1. Angelica Navarro received the assist on what was Lumbreras' seventh goal of the season.
 
Then, with just over five minutes remaining in regulation, Navarro tallied the match-winner. Navarro headed in a corner kick from the left side that beat UD goalkeeper Tori Fleherty.  Julia Renfrow assisted as McM went ahead, 2-1.
 
The goal was Navarro's team-leading eighth of the season. She also tops McM with five assists.
 
War Hawks net-minder Cindy Villasana had two saves in her 90 minutes of work.
