The University of Texas women’s soccer team pushed its way north of the .500 line with a 2-1 victory over Abilene Christian in a game that was more lopsided than the final score.

The Longhorns got two goals in two minutes — senior Lindsey Meyer scored in the 70th minute when she headed in a long free kick by Julia Dyche, followed by the first goal of freshman Mikayla Flores’ career, off an assist by Kelsey Shimmick — to take a 2-0 lead. They surrendered a goal to Abilene Christian’s Sophie Standifer in the 78th minute, but were able to hold on to their lead to pick up the victory.
