Ulibarri, Chandonia score for Schreiner women in 2-0 soccer victory

Aspen Ulibarri and Megan Chandonia scored goals in each half as the Schreiner University women’s soccer team defeated Centenary (La.) 2-0 on Sunday for its first conference victory of the season.

The Mountaineers (2-4-0, 1-1-0) bounced back from Friday’s 2-1 loss to St. Thomas (Texas) by dominating a Centenary squad that failed to register a single shot on goal.

Ulibarri opened the scoring in the 13th minute with an assist from Jess Sinclair, giving Schreiner an early advantage it would never relinquish. The goal marked Ulibarri’s second of the season.

Chandonia added insurance in the 52nd minute with an unassisted goal, her first of the campaign, to seal the victory for the Mountaineers.

Schreiner controlled the match throughout, outshooting the Gents 6-0 and holding a 2-1 advantage in corner kicks. Goalkeeper Emilie Novasad recorded her first shutout of the season, needing to make zero saves as Centenary (0-8-1, 0-2-0) struggled to generate any offensive pressure.

The Mountaineers return to action Friday when they host LeTourneau at 5 p.m. for another Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference matchup.
