Seniors Lauryn Becka, Yarely Orona, Ellie Putnam, and Olivia Rees were honored Saturday before their match Oklahoma Christian. The seniors were not only recognized with their contributions to their team thorough their leadership, but also from their hard work in the classroom.
 
The Falcon offense moved quickly in the first minutes of the match to force a corner kick in the second minute of play. Rees scored off the kick to put the Falcons ahead 1-0 early in the match. Yareli Barrera added a shot on net in the seventh minute but it was saved by the Eagle keeper. Lexie Gilley also added a shot in the 33rd minute, but once again it was saved.
