In their first OVC game of the season, Murray State Women's Soccer team defeated Southeast Missouri 2-1 on Thursday afternoon at Cutchin Field in Murray, Kentucky. Lauren Payne and Rebecca Kubin would score in the contest for the Racers to give them the victory.

In the 35^th minute of the match Payne would net the first goal for the Racers on a deflected corner kick assisted by Morgan Bodker to give the Racers the 1-0 lead going into halftime.

Following the break, the Redhawks would even the score at 1-1 in the 47^th minute on a goal by Elisabeth Rater.

The Racers would not be denied a victory as Kubin would net the record-tying 13^th game winning goal of her career in the 68^th minute on an assist from Payne.

"When Kubin is on the field, there's a chance we are going to get a result." Coach Matt Lodge said of his 5^th year striker, "She's on everybody's scouting report I would imagine, and I think when she gets the service, she will get her chances."

This victory is the Racers 14^th all-time over the Redhawks, bringing the record to 14-12-1.

Murray State will be back in action on Sunday at 1 pm when they travel to Charleston, Illinois to take on Eastern Illinois.
