The soccer team wrapped up the 2016 regular season with a 3-1 loss to conference power Southern Methodist University in Carl Lewis Field Thursday.

After finishing 4-13 a year ago, the defeat rounds out the season at a much-improved record of 6-7-3. Despite the loss, soccer fared well at home, going 4-5 over the course of the year.

In the loss, junior midfielder Kristina Schulz found the back of the net for the first time this season with a goal in the 78th minute. The goal is the second of Schulz’s career.

Although goalkeepers Rachel Estopare and Nicole Young gave the Cougars a strong effort, the Mustangs were able to score early and often.
