Texas' Lindsey Meyer (4) uses her 6'0 frame to get her head on the ball off a corner...

...sending it towards the far post...

...to Brooke Gilbert, who smacks the ball into the net.

Brooke's strike opened the floodgates on a five-goal Longhorns frenzy. Click Texas vs Nevada to view the entire match photo album by Kokoy.

Chrisalyn Fonte (20) bursts past Lindsey Meyer (4)...

...to combine with Daisha Jones-Oglesby (15)...

...on a give-and-go that splits the Longhorn defensive line...

...leaving them in the dust.

Brilliant play frees Chrisalyn from the crowd and turns her loose inside the box...

...where the All-Mountain West midfielder finishes her run with a perfect strike...

...past the lunging All-Big XII goalkeeper Abby Smith.

Chrisalyn Fonte would finish her senior season at Nevada tied for fifth in career goals (12) and second in shot attempts (139).
