WEATHERFORD, Okla. – SWOSU Soccer fought hard for 90 minutes, but could not find a way through and eventually fall to the Central Missouri Jennies 1-0.
A defensive battle through and through, the back line for both teams remained unbroken until the 87th minute when Caroline Cole found the ball at her feet after a low cross from Katelyn Poertner bounced off a couple of SWOSU defenders who were unable to clear it. Cole pounced on the opportunity and scored to give the Jennies the lead for good.
Freshman goalkeeper
Ashley Hughes was a brick wall in goal for the second straight game, making nine saves. Her career high coming in to the season was seven and she has now bested that number in two straight games with ten and nine saves respectively.
No Bulldogs were able to register more than one shot as Head Coach
Mark Persson's team was unable to turn solid defense into offensive production.
SWOSO is now 1-1 on the season and will return to action against in-state rivals Rogers State on September, 9th at 4:00 pm in Claremore, Okla. for the team's first road game of the season.
