Tigers Dominate But Fall to Southeast Missouri State

Despite getting outshot by a 24-3 margin and only placing two shots on goal, the Southeast Missouri State women's soccer team made the most of those shots and defeated Colorado College, 2-1, Thursday night at Stewart Field.
 
The Redhawks (3-2) got on the board early as Faith Liljegren scored just 1:21 into the contest. Liljegren took a crossing pass from Alayna Jakul and placed a shot from the right side of the box past CC goalkeeper Ally Wakeman.
 
From that point, the Tigers (3-2) took control of the play and had several chances to tie the game throughout the rest of the first half. Sophomore Kaelin Woodruff fired a shot that SEMO keeper Sophia Elfrink got a couple of fingers on and then it clanged off the crossbar, while senior Jordan Darrow's header from point blank hit squarely off the left post.
 
CC finally evened the score in the 40th minute when a pair of newcomers connected for the first time this season. Freshman Kylie Smith sent a corner kick into the box that junior transfer Shalom Prince headed home for her first career goal. The tally also marked Smith's first career point.
 
The Redhawks did not attempt a shot following Liljegren's goal until the 56th minute when Megan Heisserer scored the game-winner on her team's second shot of the contest. Heisserer took a pass on the ground from Zoe Houston, turned and fired a left-footed shot that eluded CC backup keeper Zahra Cheeseman, who allowed her first goal of the season.
 
Once again, the Tigers controlled play after the Redhawks took the lead and allowed just one other shot for the remaining 34 minutes. Meanwhile, CC attempted 11, including a free kick by Cheeseman with 33 seconds remaining in the contest that rang off the right post.
 
Junior Lily Byrne attempted a team-high four of CC's 24 total shots, followed by Prince, sophomore Kaelin Enga and freshman Erin Ewers with three apiece.
 
Elfrink finished with six saves, while the Tigers' two keepers did not register a save.
 
The Tigers wrap up their four-match homestand on Sunday, Sept. 4, against Texas A&M-Commerce, beginning at noon.
