DENTON, Texas – With two weeks between matches, HBU had a tough outing in a 5-0 loss to North Texas on Sunday afternoon in women's soccer action at the Mean Green Soccer Complex.
 
Junior Sabriah Spencer got an early look for HBU (0-3), getting a look inside the box during the fourth minute that was turned away by the Mean Green (3-2) defense. One minute later, North Texas' Taylor Torres put the hosts ahead 1-0 with an assist from Tori Phillips. 17 minutes later into the first half, Torres picked up goal number two, assisted by Natalie Newell, for a 2-0 Mean Green lead. Berklee Peters then closed out the first half scoring for North Texas, netting her first goal at the 33:36 mark.
 
Peters picked up where she left off in the second half, netting a pair of goals during the 54^th and 64^th minutes for the hat trick. The Huskies were able to test UNT keeper Miranda Schoening at times throughout the match, but Schoening was up to the task with five saves in her 73 minutes between the pipes.
 
"It was good to get out and play after sitting for two weeks," said head coach Misty Jones. "The effort was there but we were certainly a step off today. We struggled to get a good rhythm going and made some key mistakes that resulted in goals. We were able to play 19 different players, which is good to get some of our younger players some much needed minutes. As long as we learn from this game and we get better, then it was a successful weekend."
 
Junior Alanis Guevara and senior Katie Turner split time in goal for the Huskies with Guevara stopping seven shots in the first half and Turner making six saves in the second period. Jennifer Gebhardt, Spencer, Baylii Bieke, Gabby Rodriguez and Kaimyn Beal all had one shot on goal for HBU. North Texas held a 35-11 advantage in shots, putting 18 on goal to the Huskies' six.
 
HBU will play its first home match of the season this coming Friday when the Huskies host UT Rio Grande Valley at 7:00 p.m. at Sorrels Field.
