The UHV Women's Soccer team fell 3-0 to LSU Shreveport on Thursday at The Cage.
The loss snapped the Jaguars' (5-1-0, 2-1-0) five-game winning streak to open the year, which marked the team's best-ever start to a season.
After a thrilling comeback last Saturday against Jarvis Christian, UHV couldn't muster up the same magic against the Pilots (6-2-0, 3-0-0). The visitors used goals from Diana Godines, in the 17th minute, and Gisell Jimenez, in the 36th, to take a 2-0 lead before halftime. Diana Leon capped the scoring in the 66th minute.
Senior goalkeeper Hayli Nichols was called into action on six occasions against LSUS, tying her season-high of three saves.
The Jaguars managed five shots on Thursday with Victoria native Kyleigh Spree-Kolos setting the pace with two, including one on goal.
The Jaguars return to action at home on Saturday against Texas A&M-Texarkana at 1 p.m. for Youth Soccer Appreciation Weekend. All kids 12 and under wearing their youth soccer jerseys get in free.
