SAN MARCOS, Texas – Junior Kathryn Yarbrough, senior Theoni Zerva and freshman Taylor Henry netted a goal each as the ULM soccer team picked up a key Sun Belt Conference road win Friday night over Texas State, 3-1, at the Bobcat Soccer Complex.
 
It was the fourth consecutive win for the Warhawks (11-3-1 overall, 4-3-1 SBC), who moved into a tie for fifth place in the SBC with two matches remaining.
 
"The first 25 minutes, we were excellent in possession and then after that I thought we defended a little too much tonight," ULM head coach Sean Fraser said. "That said, we scored three great goals that we are very happy with."
 
Yarbrough put the Warhawks on the board in the 19th minute. ULM was set up with a free kick with Yarbrough scoring off an assist from sophomore Lucia Lobato to put the Warhawks up 1-0. The score held to halftime. It was Yarbrough's first goal of the season and second of her ULM career, while Lobato collected her fourth assist.
 
ULM struck twice in short order in the second half. In the 55th minute, Zerva scored off a pass from Henry to double the ULM lead to 2-0. Zerva picked up her ninth goal of the season while Henry earned her third assist.
 
Less than a minute later, the Warhawks added to the lead when Henry scored off an assist by senior Aysha Bentick for the 3-0 advantage. It was Henry's first goal of her career while Bentick notched her sixth assist.
 
Texas State responded less than a minute after that as Zoe Junior scored to cut ULM's lead to 3-1.
 
The Bobcats put just two more shots on goal for the rest of the match as the Warhawks went on to the victory.
 
Junior Hailey Hillock made four saves and earned the win in goal for ULM. Texas State's Beth Agee made a pair of saves in the loss.
 
Texas State outshot ULM, 15-10, but the Warhawks had a 6-5 advantage in shots on goal.
 
ULM plays its final road match of the season at 3 p.m. Sunday against the Ragin' Cajuns in Lafayette. Links to live video and stats are available on the soccer schedule page at ULMWarhawks.com.
