Senior Whitney Jaynes scores game-winning goal in 73rd minute.
HONOLULU, Hawaii -- Senior defender Whitney Jaynes scored an unassisted goal in the 73rd minute to lead the Texas Soccer team to a 2-1 victory against Hawai'i late Monday night at Waipi'o Peninsula Stadium in the Outrigger Resorts Shootout. The Longhorns improved to 1-0-1 on the year with the win, while the Rainbow Wahine fell to 0-2.
Hawaii opened the scoring in the fifth minute (4:12) when Krystal Pascua gathered the ball with her back to the goal, turned and directed her shot into the upper left part of the net.
Texas drew even in the 22nd minute (21:44) when junior Lindsey Meyer slotted the ball into the box and sophomore Julia Dyche found the net from 12 yards out for her first goal of the year and second of her collegiate career.
Jaynes then scored the game-winning goal in the 73rd minute (72:47) when her shot from outside the 18-yard box found the upper right part of the net. This marked Jaynes' first goal of the year and second of her career.
Junior goalkeeper Abby Smith played the entire 90 minutes in goal for Texas and recorded two saves. Although the total shots were even at 8-8, the Horns recorded a 7-3 advantage in shots on goal and a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks. In the decisive second half, UT registered a 6-2 margin in shots and a 5-2 margin in corner kicks.
The Longhorns play their home opener against Arkansas on Friday, Aug. 29. First kick is set for 7:30 p.m. Central at Mike A. Myers Stadium and Soccer Field, and the game will be televised nationally by Longhorn Network.
