SHREVEPORT, LA — Stefani Robbs forced overtime with just over two minutes to play, then scored the game-winner three and a half minutes into the first overtime as Centenary handed Sam Houston State a 3-2 non-conference women’s road soccer loss Sunday afternoon.

The Bearkats, who won their season opener Friday night 1-0 in overtime against Mississippi State in Huntsville, appeared on the verge of picking up their second victory in a row.

Raquel Bueno put Sam Houston ahead 2-1 with 29 minutes to play with a right-footed shot into the lower left hand corner of the net off a pass from Yoanna Garcia. The goal came just over a minute after Monica Madden had tied the contest 1-1 on a shot from 17 yards away. Bueno assisted on the first Bearkat goal.

Centenary scored the only goal of the first half as Bre Fletcher headed in a cross from Robbs in the 39th minute.

Goalkeeper Melissa Sauceda posted nine saves as Centenary took 20 shots.
