Houston, Texas—The University of St. Thomas women's soccer team has faced a tough stretch of opponents. Finally returning home for a match, the Celts pushed league-leading Trinity to their limits. St. Thomas battled from the start but fell short, eventually losing 1-0 and dropping to 6-6-2 overall and 2-5 in SCAC action.

From kickoff to the final whistle, it was a defensive contest. Both teams limited the other side's chances and finished the first 45 minutes 0-0. The Tigers only managed four shots in the first half but allowed the hosts none.

The second half looked like it would be a carbon copy of the first, but Trinity Midfielder Bri Werner broke through and deposited the match's only goal. The Celts did not stop competing and pushed forward late, watching a late shot sail just over the crossbar in the 85th minute.

Up Next

The Celts finish the regular season with three straight home matches starting Sunday, October 27th, at SaberCats Stadium. Kickoff is at 2:30 PM. For updates, visit www.ustcelts.com or follow @USTathletics and @ustwsoccer on Instagram.
