DENTON, Texas - Sophomore forward Rachel Holden scored the game-winning goal for the North Texas soccer team in a 1-0 victory against Oregon State on Sunday afternoon at the Mean Green Soccer Complex.

"It's a good feeling to be 2-0 and beat a Pac-12 team," said North Texas head coach John Hedlund. "One of our priorities is to protect our home field which we did this weekend."

As the clock dwindled down, it looked like the Mean Green would be headed to overtime, but Holden had other plans. The sophomore forward beat her defender down to the endline and slipped the ball past a diving keeper to score the game's only goal in the 87th minute. It was Holden's second goal of the weekend and the season.

After being outshot, 7-6, in the first half, North Texas came out with a more aggressive tone in the second period. NT posted four shots in the opening seven minutes of the second half and ended up outshooting the beavers, 14-4, in the final 45 minutes.

After not posting a shot in the first half, Holden recorded the first two shots of the second half. The sophomore was subbed out with 12 minutes left in the game but returned in the 84th minute. She found the back of the next three minutes later.

Bella Geist made 11 saves in goal for Oregon State and was key to holding the Mean Green scoreless for most of the game.

Similar to Friday night's win, North Texas outshot its opponents and held a large advantage on corner kicks.

Jackie Kerestine picked up her second shutout and second win of the season for the Mean Green. She made three saves in goal.

Next up for North Texas

North Texas returns to action next weekend when it faces Houston and Lamar, both on the road.

UNI won. not all, but the most interesting games coming up: tonight (11/20) - not a ton...Tulsa host UALR (who already blew out UTSA), but if Tulsa is any good should take care of. 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next) ; Oregon State host Oregon ; Houston Christian v. Rice ; ECU v. Jacksonville State (3 day tourney...would play Toledo or Stetson next) 11/22 - Utah State v. Iowa and St. Louis v. Wichita State (same venue, but not a tourney) ; McNeese v. Illinois State and UAB v. Longwood (same side of bracket) ; Temple v. Florida State ; ECU/FAU game 2 of 3 11/23 - Temple v. UMASS 11/24 - High Point v. Missouri State (3 day tourney...would play ODU or Boston College next) there will be more games 11/23 and 11/24 as some of these tournaments shake out, but definitely some interesting games starting tomorrow

      Texas Wesleyan (11/21/24)

      Texas Wesleyan is one of those athlete mill schools that take advantage of kids/parents who really want to be a college athlete. The majority of students at the school are athletes and the teams will take almost anyone to be on the roster as long as they can qualify for an overpriced college loan to afford the tuition.
