NORMAN — No. 22 Oklahoma Soccer (3-0) turned in its first shutout of 2025 while
Juliette Rayo and
Luciana Setteducate found the back of the net for the first time this season in OU's 4-0 win against East Texas A&M (1-1) Thursday, Aug. 21.
The Sooners are 3-0 for the second time in three years under head coach
Matt Mott and just the third time since 2009.
Rayo posted the second brace of her career after logging one in OU's 8-0 victory against Missouri State last season. Setteducate notched her first goal as a Sooner, providing the eventual game winner in the 30th minute.
OU 4, East Texas A&M 0
The Sooners put up 12 shots in each half, with a number of those in the first half narrowly missing the mark early on.
Ally Laccinole kept East Texas A&M's best chance all night from becoming a goal as she slid in front of a loose ball near the goal line, poking it out of harm's way. Minutes later
Naomi Clark put a shot on frame before it clanked off the crossbar in OU's best opportunity early on.
The Sooners finally broke through on a cross into the box from
Hadley Murrell as Setteducate poked it inside the post for a 1-0 lead in the 30th minute.
Tied 1-0 at the break, Rayo rocketed a shot off the fingertips of East Texas A&M keeper Veronica Pacione and into the net for a 2-0 lead in the 46th minute.
Lexi Dendis put a cross into the box in the 46th minute that was kicked into the goal by an East Texas A&M defender for a 3-0 lead in the 51st minute.
A handball in the box set up Rayo for a penalty kick opportunity which she tucked under the crossbar for a 4-0 advantage in the 56th minute.
