The Murray State soccer team dropped its second-straight Ohio Valley Conference road decision today, a 2-0 loss at Jacksonville State.

MSU (3-6-3, 0-2-0 OVC) fell behind early to the host Gamecocks (6-3-2, 1-0-1 OVC) as Tiffanie Stewart gave JSU a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute of action.

The Gamecocks made it 2-0 in the 74th minute as Joanna McCaughey scored on a direct kick following an MSU foul.

MSU freshman goalkeeper Annie Fortier made four saves on the day, but the Racers' offense was never able to get going as they managed only one shot on goal and seven shots overall in the game.

The Racers opened their first-ever OVC road swing to the newest OVC members with a tough 4-3 double-overtime loss at Samford on Friday night.

Up next, the Racers will step out of OVC play as they travel to the University of Louisville on Friday, Oct. 10 at 6 p.m. CT.
