Box Score

Belmont’s 89th Minute Goal the Difference in Hard Fought Match

The Murray State Women's Soccer Team lost to Belmont on Thursday night 1-0 at E.S. Rose Park in Nashville, Tennessee. After neither defense budged for the first 89 minutes of the match, Belmont would score the difference maker to give the Bruins the victory.

Midfielder Hailey Cole was able to fire to shots on goal in the contest with Chloe Barnthouse, Camille Barber, and Audrey Brumfield all putting a shot on goal each.

The Racers looked like they would gain the lead just before halftime when Barnthouse had a shot towards an open Belmont net before a Belmont defender made an impressive sliding save to keep the score at 0-0.

Both sides showed a very even match with the Racers leading the total shot count 7-6 and the shots on goal count 5-4.

Looking Ahead

Murray State will look to bounce back when they host Morehead State on Sunday (Oct. 10) at Cutchin Field in Murray, Kentucky. The Racers are 4-1 in home contests this season with the lone loss coming to Cincinnati.

Morehead State is coming off a 1-0 win over Austin Peay on Thursday night with the lone goal scored by Jenna Setters. Katie Klolbassa leads the Eagles in scoring this season with three goals and six points. Michelle Jerentowski leads the Eagles goalkeeping efforts with 57 saves on the season and over 1100 minutes in the net.

The match between the Racers and Eagles will be streamed on ESPN+ and live stats for the contest can be found at GoRacers.com.
