The UT Dallas women's soccer team's run through the Lone Star Conference tournament ended one game short of a title Sunday afternoon, as No. 1 DBU beat the Comets 1-0 at Patriot Soccer Field.
DBU's Riley Olsen scored the only goal in the 47th minute, on a play set up by Leah Hurley and Kenzi Tufts. It was Olsen's 10th goal of the season, and she was named the tournament's most valuable player.
The Patriots, now 17-0-2, controlled much of the afternoon. They outshot UT Dallas 20-7 and held a 7-1 edge in corner kicks, though shots on goal were close at 4-3. DBU was whistled for 10 fouls to the Comets' six.
UT Dallas goalkeeper Melyna Martinez made three saves. Her season set two program records, according to the university's athletics department: 14 shutouts and 2,030 minutes played. Her 71 saves tie for seventh on the school's single-season list.
Martinez and defenders Emma Best and Kira Schkade were named to the all-tournament team. Schkade played all 90 minutes and put one of her two shots on target. Forward Ella Spiller and Avery Riley also tested DBU keeper Josie Juvera, who finished with three saves.
