Tyler, Texas - Rhodes women's soccer took on the Hardin-Simmons University Cowgirls today. HSU was ranked eighth in the United Soccer Coaches preseason poll a month ago. Despite being shut out, Rhodes goalkeeper, junior Anna Maldonado prevented the Cowgirls from scoring nine other goals, letting just one slip past her. 

It's the second loss for the Lynx in their tough non-conference opening weekend. The defense has been working hard as HSU took 17 shots today. Yesterday UT Tyler only made nine shots. 

Rhodes returns to Memphis to host Piedmont, Millsaps and Maryville College (TN) this weekend. The Lynx will host two neutral-site games and play against Piedmont Saturday morning for their home opener at 10 a.m. followed by Maryville Sunday at the same time. Rhodes is currently 0-2 on the year.
