HOBBS, N.M. (Oct. 6, 2022) – The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) women's soccer team fell to University of the Southwest (USW) 2-0 on Thursday. The Saints drop to 4-3-4 overall and 2-1-2 in the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC). The Mustangs improve to 6-2 overall and 4-0 in conference play.
