AUSTIN, Texas – With the score even at 1-1, a strike from Falynn Pyterek found the back net, marking her first career goal and lifting the Concordia Texas women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Ozarks on Saturday.
 
Pyterek's game-winner came in the 76th minute, giving the Tornados an advantage that would last the distance. With the victory over Ozarks, CTX extends their unbeaten streak to five and advances their ASC record to 5-0.

Ozarks was the first team on the board, gaining a 1-0 lead in the 34th minute with their lone goal in the match.
 
With just over a minute remaining in the half, Krenz's third goal of the season tied the match at 1-1, scoring on an assist from Patricia Heckendorn to even the score heading into the final 45 minutes.
