Kelli Lunsford had two goals and an assist in the 6-1 win over Arkansas-Little Rock

DENTON, Tex. (10/16/05) – Make it a baker’s dozen. The North Texas women’s soccer team cruised past Arkansas-Little Rock 6-1 and extended its unbeaten streak to 13 straight games, setting a new school record.

The win is the sixth straight for the Mean Green (11-2-2, 6-0) and the 12th consecutive win against Sun Belt Conference opponents. The North Texas offensive was powered by Heather Hutyra and Kelli Lunsford who both scored two goals and tallied five points on the afternoon.

The Mean Green jumped on top of the Trojans early, as Hutyra scored her 15th goal of the season 89 seconds into the game. Junior Kristen Campbell made it 2-0 North Texas in the eighth minute of play with her sixth goal of the season.

Hutyra added her second goal of the game and 16th of the season in the 31st minute with a header on a cross from Campbell.

UALR (2-12-1, 1-6) scored its only goal of the afternoon in the 48th minute on a penalty kick from Maria Ferrato. North Texas answered three minutes later as Lunsford buried her fourth goal of the season in the top right corner to make it 4-1.

Lunsford tallied her second goal of the day on a penalty kick in the 55th minute extending the Mean Green lead to 5-1. Jamie Yates closed out the scoring for the Mean Green in the 67th minute off a feed from Lunsford.

The Mean Green is 8-0-1 at home this season and will be going after their fourth unbeaten season in school history at home in the finale against Denver.

The Sun Belt Conference showdown between the Mean Green and Pioneers is set for Friday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m.

"...as Lunsford buried her fourth goal of the season...Lunsford tallied her second goal...Hutyra added her second goal..."

Anyone notice how these soccer stories are really just a series of sentences with creative descriptions of how someone scored a goal? I'd like to see us win a game with about 20 goals, just to see how many different ways they can come up with saying so-and-so scored a goal. Anyway I digress...

Does anyone know our current national ranking? I know it was 40 before the last two games on Friday and Sunday but I can't seem to find any ranking lists that go beyond the top 25.

Oh I should also mention that this Friday is our last home game and we are pushing for big attendance, so please come! It really should be a great game. The games are fun and in some ways better than football games (I bet I'm really gonna hear it for that one)...you can sit right on the sideline on a blanket or tailgate instead of 10 miles away from the field on a metal bench!

Talons should really try to spread the word and get a good crowd there. Unfortunately I'll be at my HS Homecoming so I won't be able to attend. Anyone on here planning on attending?
