COLLEGE STATION, Texas - SMU used a hat trick from Kimber Bailey to knock off North Texas 3-0 in the opening round of the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championships Friday evening at the Aggie Soccer Stadium.
SMU advances to the second round and awaits the winner of Friday's late match between Northwestern State and Texas A&M.
The Mean Green (16-4-2) didn't have an answer for SMU's (15-4-2) Bailey, who combined with her sister, Krystal, on the opening goal in the game's 16th minute. Krystal found Kimber just inside the 18-yard box, and the sophomore placed a shot over Mean Green goalkeeper Kandice Ellis.
Ellis, however, kept the Mean Green in the game in the first half, registering a couple of key diving saves. The Mustangs took the first six shots of the game before North Texas even began an attack.
Kimber Bailey notched her second goal of the game on a penalty shot in the 68th minute, and added her third three minutes later, redirecting a rebound off of Ellis.
SMU (15-4-2) will face host Texas A&M (17-3-2) in second round play of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday, Nov. 13. Game time is set for 2:00 p.m. at the Aggie Soccer Complex.
