OMAHA, Neb. – The Oral Roberts women's soccer team fought their way to a 2-1 win in a competitive match at Omaha, Thursday evening.

The Golden Eagles played with an edge from the opening whistle and channeled that energy into a steady offensive pressure throughout the game.

Sophomore Carty Kingsbury opened the scoring for ORU in the 41st minute. Kingsbury launched a rocket from outside the box that went past the keepers outstretched hands and laced the back of the net for her second score of the year. Carys Torgesen and Samantha Guzman earned an assist on the goal.

The Golden Eagles held their 1-0 lead for the remainder of the half.

At the 62nd minute, ORU would score again to increase its lead to two. Ariana Fresquez lofted a corner kick into the middle of the box that found Gabrielle Abbey who knocked it in. This notched Abbey's fourth goal of the season.

The Golden Eagles remained poised and held off the Mavericks for the rest of the match.
