COMMERCE – Brionna Minde recorded a hat trick and Texas A&M-Commerce added two additional goals in a 5-1 Lone Star Conference win over Angelo State on Friday at the A&M-Commerce Soccer Field.

Hanna Horeis scored her third goal in three games for the Rambelles, but the goal, 34 minutes into the match, could only bring the score to 3-1 at the time and didn't turn momentum. ASU (4-6-2, 3-3-2 LSC) fell to 1-4-1 in road games and trailed 4-1 at halftime. Angelo State and A&M-Commerce are now tied with identical conference records and 11 conference points. Abilene Christian (11-0-1, 7-0-1 LSC) leads the conference with 22 points, while Midwestern State (6-3-2, 4-3-1 LSC) finds itself in second in the standings through eight conference games.

BOX SCORE

The five goals ASU gave up on Friday is the most the Rambelles have given up all season, with the previous high coming in a 3-2 loss to A&M-Commerce (5-5-2, 3-3-2 LSC) in the first meeting between the two universities this season.

ASU was credited with three shots on goal in the game, while the Lions put 15 shots on Rambelle goalkeeper Morgan Harrison and newcomer Danielle Edwards. The game was the first of the season for Edwards who joined the Rambelles' team late this week. Brandie DeBacker led ASU with four shots, but along with Katelyn West and Horeis could only put one shot on goal.

Minde scored her first two goals in the 14th and 21st minute of play and then capped the Lions' scoring with a goal in the 63rd minute. Jordan McCarty and Devon Herrman scored the Lions' other two goals. A&M-Commerce goalkeeper Randi Hafele finished with two saves in a complete-game win.

The Rambelles return to action at 1 p.m. on Sunday against a Texas Woman's. The Pioneers (1-8-3, 1-6-1 LSC) won their first game of the season on Friday with a 3-1 win over Incarnate Word.
