Three second-half goals, including a direct free kick from Aleksandra Kozovic in the 47th minute, spurred Western Kentucky’s women’s soccer team to a 3-1 victory Thursday at UTSA’s Park West Athletics Complex in San Antonio.

WKU (6-8-1, 3-4-1 C-USA) extended its winning streak to three matches after downing Florida Atlantic and FIU last weekend. Hannah Cady scored her first goal since her freshman campaign in 2015 for WKU’s second strike of the night, and Chandler Backes totaled her 16th career goal to ice the win for the Lady Toppers late in the match.

The Lady Toppers held a 10-8 advantage in total shots and a 6-5 edge in shots on goal.

Cady and Tally Bishop each had a match-high two shots on goal for WKU, and Hannah Chua notched a pair of shots as well as an assist on Cady’s goal.

Freshman Deven Jackson also tallied an assist, helping to set up Backes’ strike in the 86th minute.

Allison Leone played the full 90 minutes between the posts for WKU, making four saves to keep the Roadrunners’ attack at bay.

For UTSA (2-13, 1-7 C-USA), Ellis Patterson had a pair of shots on goal, and Cailey Elder and Sarah Bayhi earned assists on Jordyn Lacy’s late goal.

Michelle Cole played the full match in goal for the Roadrunners, allowing WKU’s three goals while making a trio of saves.

WKU will return home for the final time this season Oct. 27 against Marshall at the WKU Soccer Complex.

Game time is 6 p.m.
