The SMU women's soccer team outshot East Carolina 19-10 Wednesday, but were never able to get a ball past ECU keeper Amber Campbell, losing 1-0 in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA Championship at Rice Soccer Stadium in Houston.
The 8th seed Lady Mustangskept the pressue on the ECU goal all afternoon, and had nearly as many shots on goal (10) as the Lady Pirates had shots total. Freshman forward Logan May, a member of the 2008 Conference USA All-Freshman team, had nearly as many shots (eight) as the entire ECU roster. Midfielder Kristin Medeiros launched four shots and forward Lauren Shepherd had three.
The only goal of the match though went to ECU. It came in the 74th minute when Bailey Wilcox scored a header from a a corner kick. The Mustangs were unable to recover and finished a disappointing season. With the loss, the Mustangs' season ends with a final record of 6-13-1.
