Yissel Olivares cut the deficit to two in the second half, but women's soccer was defeated 4-1 by Concordia on Saturday morning.
The Tornados got on the board first and padded their lead to 3-0 going to the half.
Yissel Olivares netted her first of the season on a free kick in the 59th minute to trim it to 3-1.
Concordia added one more goal in the 82nd minute on their way to a 4-1 win.
Olivares led the Lobos and also tied a game-high three shots and three on goal.

FROM COACH DOMINGUEZ:
- Despite a bumpy first half, the ladies showed a forward process on the scoreboard in the second half, trusted one another and played with a single heartbeat.
- We were able to adapt to Concordia's high line and find pockets in between their mids.
- Yissel showed great skills and was a universal player today. She can step up and play in any role her team needs her to. And she also had an incredible goal!
- Judith Macias was able to control the midfield and used her quick thinking to help us catch rhythm.
- We head to Abilene with clear eyes and full hearts and most of all an optimistic view.
- The team found their reason why today that I am very proud of them.
