Follow @HBUWSoccer

DALLAS, Texas – Jessica Nevils scored an equalizer in the 57th minute to even the score but SMU got the game-winner in the final nine minutes to pull out a 1-0 win over the HBU women's soccer team on Sunday evening at Westcott Field.
 
The first half saw the Mustangs (3-1-1) test HBU (2-3-0) goalkeeper early, placing four shots on goal within the first 26 minutes but the senior was up to the task making each stop to keep the match scoreless. The Huskies, after a pair of attempts that went wide early, got their first shot on goal from Nevils just 30 seconds after she checked into the game in the 35th minute. SMU put a few attempts off target the rest of the period but the two teams were deadlocked at 0-0 at the half.
 
SMU picked up the first goal of the game at the 50:46 mark when Celiana Torres scored with an assist from Mary Meehan on a cross into the box. HBU answered within six minutes when Nevils headed home a goal from close range to bring the Huskies even. Senior Sabriah Spencer had a shot stopped by SMU keeper Samantha Estada during the 62nd minute but that was the last attempt on target for the match for the Huskies. The score remained tied until the 81:20 mark when a deflection off a corner found Hannah Fleet who scored the game-winner.
 
Guevara made eight saves in the loss, bringing her save percentage for the season to .737. Nevils attempted a pair of shots in the match with both on goal and the goal was the first of her career as a Husky. SMU held a 27-to-6 advantage in shots.
 
"Tonight was a hard-fought match," said head coach Misty Jones. "Our girls definitely came to play. We defended very well and certainly frustrated SMU. We had some quality chances and did a fantastic job of putting them under pressure. SMU is a very solid team and we are pleased with our performance."
 
HBU will be back at home at Sorrels Field on Friday, Sep. 7, for a 6:00 p.m. matchup against North Texas as part of a doubleheader with the men's team following immediately after with a game against Oral Roberts.
