Tutas & No. 20 Oklahoma Sooners Stay Perfect
|
The University of Oklahoma women's soccer team, featuring Bermuda Women’s National team player Ashley Tutas' teammate, continues its perfect start to the season.
The No. 20 Sooners defeated North Texas 1-0, with a stellar defensive performance and yet another goal from sophomore Kayla Keefer.
Keefer scored for the third consecutive match, providing the decisive goal in a tightly contested game. While the offense found a way to win, the defense was the star of the show. North Texas, who entered the match averaging over 25 shots per game, was held to just four shots on the night by the Sooners' backline, which earned its second shutout of the week.
The victory improves Oklahoma's record to 6-0, marking the first time the program has achieved this feat since 2002 and only the second time in its history. The win over North Texas, a team known for its potent offense, will give the Sooners a huge boost of confidence as they look to extend their unbeaten streak.

The visitors started the game well, creating the first chance of the contest when Jeremiah Gomez's shot forced a save from the Endicott goalkeeper.

Endicott started the second half strongly, with Thomas College goalkeeper Jamie Fischer forced to make two saves in the 49th minute. Thomas College continued to push for an equalizer, with Harry Clough's shot in the 60th minute requiring another save from the Endicott keeper.
Despite both teams trading chances throughout the remainder of the game, Endicott's first-half goal proved to be the winner, as they walked away with a 1-0 victory.

Grant's Instant Impact Seals Gillingham Victory
|
Nayan Grant and his Gillingham Academy teammates secured a solid 2-0 victory on the road against Cheltenham Town in their latest Youth Alliance fixture. The win was a testament to the young Gills' defensive solidity and their ability to seize crucial opportunities.
Gillingham were already leading 1-0 when Grant was introduced from the bench in the 64th minute. The Bermudian made an instant impact, demonstrating his speed and skill just a minute later. A brilliant breakaway saw Grant sprint down the right wing, before delivering a precise cross to teammate Freddie Carruthers. The Cheltenham keeper spread himself well to make a good save, denying what would have been an instant assist for Grant.
The result is another positive one for the Gillingham Academy side, which has been in fine form early in the season. Grant's ability to come off the bench and immediately influence the game will be a huge boost for his confidence and is a promising sign for his development within the club's youth setup.
