Sunday afternoon at Cutchin Field, the Murray State Women's Soccer team played the annual Blue-Gold scrimmage that ended with the Blue team winning 1-0.
After battling to a scoreless first half, the Racers Blue team scored 15 minutes into the second half on a goal by Krista Llewellyn.
The scrimmage consisted of two 30 minute halves and when it was over, the Racer coaching staff was pleased with the level of commitment, concentration and effort the team is showing.
“I saw a lot of what we have been working on this past week, especially with our forwards at midfield,” MSU Head Coach Beth Acreman said. “Our defending strategy is coming together.”
Acreman has been emphasizing defense in the first week of fall preseason workouts.
“I also saw some very good things on the attacking side of the ball, and we haven't worked that much yet,” Acreman said.
“The girls have been working on conditioning and this was a good test,” She added. “We had the chance to get used to the heat. We're looking forward to matching up against MTSU.”
