RICHARDSON, TX (11.05.19) - The UT Dallas women's soccer team will be heading to the semifinals of the American Southwest Conference Championship Tournament for the 18th consecutive season thanks to a penalty-kick shootout over Belhaven Tuesday night at the UTD Soccer Field.

ASC TOURNAMENT CENTRAL

The Comets (now 15-2-3) will face Mary Hardin-Baylor at 4 p.m. Friday in Abilene with a spot in Sunday's ASC title game on the line.

Junior Keely Fillman kept the Comets' season alive in the 90th minute as she found the equalizer after a bullet by teammate Bailee Davis that bounced off the top woodwork. Fillman's game-tying tally came with 43 seconds left in regulation after visiting Belhaven scored the first goal of the contest in the 75th minute.

After two scoreless overtime periods, it came down to penalty kicks for a berth into this weekend's ASC "Final Four", hosted by top-seeded Hardin-Simmons. After UTD's Sofia Munoz connected on the first penalty kick of the duel, Comet freshman keeper Erin Clawson rejected the Blazers' first attempt. The Comets added clean kicks from Stephanie Ward, Fillman and Stephanie White and would hold a 4-3 lead heading into Belhaven's final try. BU's Alex Trammel drilled crossbar, sending the Comets deeper into the postseason.

The Blazers (10-8-2) controlled the opening half, out-shooting UTD, 7-3, but the Comets held a 15-4 shot advantage over the remaining 65 minutes of action. Davis and Munoz finished with game-high four shots each while White took three shots. UTD starting keeper Morgan Sherman made three saves, giving up on goal in nearly 105 minutes of action. Clawson played just over five minutes without a save and was the keeper during the penalty kicks.
