HOUSTON (SMU) - The SMU women's soccer team fell 2-1 to Rice in overtime Sunday afternoon. Freshman Amanda Burgardt scored the lone goal for the Mustangs. All three of the game's goals were scored on set pieces.

Burgardt got the Mustangs on the board in the 68th minute when she headed in the ball on a free kick from Lauren Shepherd to tie the game at one. The goal was Burgardt's second of the season. The assist was Shepherd's team-leading fourth helper of the year.

Rice opened the scoring early with a goal in just the seventh minute of play. Hope Ward put Rice up 1-0 when she converted a free kick from the left side, sending the ball into the opposite side of the net.

Lauren LaGrow tallied the game-winner in the 93rd minute when she capitalized on a long free kick from the right side.

The Mustangs are now 5-4-2 on the season and have moved to 0-2-0 in Conference USA action.
