North Texas defeats UL Lafayette 3-2 in first round action

Courtesy: Sun Belt Conference

MOBILE, Ala. - No. 8 seed Louisiana-Lafayette had the early momentum, but No. 1 seed North Texas proved to be too much as the Mean Green (14-3-2, 8-1 SBC) claimed a 3-2 win over the Ragin’ Cajuns (4-10-3, 2-6-1 SBC) in the first round of the 2005 Aéropostale Sun Belt Conference Soccer Championships on the campus of the University of South Alabama.

UL Lafayette struck first as Erika Saffer knocked in a goal five minutes into the first half.

UNT’s Julie Radford evened the match when UL Lafayette goalkeeper Stephanie Weston misplayed an attempt to clear out. Radford intercepted Weston’s pass and drove in a goal from 10 yards out.

The Mean Green took the lead ten minutes later when Dani Slavonic netted a goal.

Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year Heather Hutyra added another goal for UNT with an assist from Brittany Cleveland.

The Ragin’ Cajuns fought hard the whole match and Erin Thompson added another goal for UL Lafayette with 15 minutes remaining in the match.

North Texas settled in on defense the rest of the match and denied UL Lafayette the upset.

UNT will next play tomorrow at 4 p.m. versus the winners of today’s match between No. 4 seed Denver and No. 5 Western Kentucky.

MOBILE, Ala. – No. 5 seed Western Kentucky broke open a scoreless tie with a goal by Alicia Dalby at the 53 minute mark and never looked back against No. 4 seed Denver in first round action at the 2005 Aéropostale Sun Belt Conference Soccer Championship on the campus of South Alabama.

The win avenged an earlier season loss for WKU (7-9-3, 4-4-1 SBC) at the hands of Denver (8-9-2, 5-3-1 SBC). The two teams faced off last Sunday in a match that saw the Pioneers come out on top 1-0.

The Lady Toppers advance to face top seeded North Texas (14-3-2, 8-1 SBC) at 4:00 p.m. Thursday.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finished 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days.

      Yes, win 2 of 3 in Charlotte and should be at least Top 2. If we do that and there's a three-way tie for first at 19-8, I'd imagine we'd take the top spot because we'd be 4-2 vs. the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 2-4 in that hypothetical. Thanks! Wasn't able to watch that game, just kept up on Twitter.
