ULM falls to LA Tech in their opening game of the season after an early second half shot broke a 1-1 tie.

The Lady Techsters struck first taking an early lead, but the Warhawks hung tough and knotted the score in the 18th minute on a sky high header from junior Mary Ashton Lembo.

The play was assisted on a set piece into the box by junior Whitney Tuckfield. After more hard fought play, the teams entered into the half with the score at 1 all, but a quick shot two minutes into the second by Mylene Roy-Ouellet of Tech snapped the tie and proved to be the game winner.

Head Coach Roberto Mazza felt pleased with the effort given but noted there were improvements to be made.

“For it being the first game I thought we were very competitive. For the next game we’re going to work on getting better defensively and being more organized,” said Mazza.
