ALVA, Okla. – The Northwestern Oklahoma State University women's soccer team suffered an 8-1 loss at the hands of the Newman University Jets on Tuesday evening. The Rangers lone goal came from Yazmin Gomez who drove home her first of the 2017 season.

Northwestern had a great chance taken away early when Karla Lopez was tripped from behind on a breakaway, resulting in a yellow card for the Jet defender.

The Rangers managed just seven shots against a determined Jets squad that was coming off a 4-1 victory over Washburn on Sunday. Newman peppered the Northwestern goal with 31 shots, with Kylee Loustaunau making 10 saves.

After Newman took an early 2-0 lead, the black-and-red displayed great passing as Calvonis Prentice fed the ball up the left side to Lopez, who then set up Gomez for the finish on a very tough angle shot. But the Rangers could only muster two of their seven shots in the opening half.

The fast-paced Newman offense worked their way to a 5-1 lead at halftime.

Jets forward Grace Linton had a solid night scoring three goals while adding an assist in the opening frame. Canadian Karen Tamayo added two goals of her own in the second half as the Jets cruised to an 8-1 win over the Rangers.
