Box Score (.pdf)
MURRAY, Ky.—The Murray State soccer team dropped its season opener Friday afternoon in a hard fought contest with Arkansas State at Cutchin Field. The Racers lost the match 1-0.
Jena' Kelley scored the lone goal of the match in the 87th minute off of an Arkansas State corner kick. Christina Fink assisted on the goal.
The Racers looked to have taken the lead in the first half on a Teryn Wright goal in the 26th minute, however the goal was nullified due to an offsides call. Murray State's best chance to score in the second half came in the 68th minute when a Veronika Pribyslavska cross pass just went past the outstretched foot of Racheal Foxley. Yi Du recorded three saves in the game for the Racers.
“I think it was a hard-fought 90-minute game, especially for us because we have limited subs,” said head coach Beth Acreman. “I think the girls worked hard, we just missed a couple of opportunities in the second half that we have to do a better job with.”
“My three center midfielders played all 90 minutes today and did a really nice job for us,” said Acreman. “Racheal Foxley and Taylor Stevens, they're both freshman and then Shauna Wicker those three really worked hard for us today.”
The Racers return to the pitch on Sunday as they will host Evansville from Cutchin Field for a 1 p.m. contest.
