Longhorns strike late, snap WVU’s 24-match Big 12 unbeaten streak

AUSTIN, Texas — Cyera Hintzen’s late goal gave No. 17 Texas an early leg up on ending West Virginia’s dominance in Big 12 women’ soccer.

Taking a pass between two defenders, Hintzen scored in the 88th minutes to give the Longhorns a 1-0 upset Sunday that snapped WVU’s 24-match regular-season unbeaten streak in conference.

Texas (10-0, 2-0) remained the lone unbeaten team in Division I

“I was actually kind of stunned that I got the ball in the box with so much time because usually people are collapsing really quickly,” said Hintzen, the league’s reigning offensive player of the year.
