TYLER, TX (09.14.17) -The UT Dallas women's soccer team opened American Southwest Conference play Thursday night with a 1-0 road victory over rival Texas-Tyler.

After a scoreless opening frame, Lee received a cross from teammate Stephanie White to record the first goal allowed by the Patriots through four games this fall.
