CANYON, Texas - Sophomore Megan Szydloski (Amarillo, Texas) scored the lone goal Friday afternoon during the 85th minute in a 1-0 win for the West Texas A&M women's soccer team, as it defeated Texas A&M-Commerce in Lone Star Conference action.

During the second half, the Lady Buff defense continued to play strong, as they held the Lions to one shot in the last 45 minutes. WTAMU freshman goalkeeper Lisha Jungmann (San Antonio, Texas) earned her third career shutout, as she converted her only save chance early in the first half.
