  "summary": "Mateya Dessieux, a goalkeeper for Texas women's soccer and a Farragut graduate, has suffered a second ACL tear in the same knee, this time 250 days after her initial injury during the 2025 season. In an Instagram post on August 12, Dessieux expressed her faith and resilience, stating that her faith in God will help her become a better person and player. Despite the setback, Texas planned for her extended absence by adding three transfer goalkeepers. Dessieux, who started in nine of the team's 17 regular season games in her freshman season, was the eighth-most saves (40) among SEC goalkeepers and posted the second-most saves (11) in a single match by a Texas true freshman since 1994.",
