MSSU soccer loses to Central Missouri

(From MSSU Lions Athletic News)

The Missouri Southern Lions (3-7-1, 1-6-0 MIAA) could not hold on to a 1-0 halftime lead as 10th ranked Central Missouri (10-0-1, 7-0-0 MIAA) comes back for a 4-1 win Friday night.

Southern struck first in the 39th minute as senior Casey Vitale beat the Jennies goalie to give the Lions the 1-0 lead headed into the break. Freshman Bryar Wiley got the start in the net for an injured Beth Hammons and came up with five saves while facing 11 Central Missouri shots in the first half.

The Jennies evened the score following a Southern own goal in the 50th minute and then UCM added three more as Mikala Modiri would put in two and Baylie Edwards would come up with the third.

Wiley played all 90 minutes in the net for Southern and finished with seven saves. The Lions offense would take just four shots with two on goal during the match.

Southern will be back on the road this Sunday as they travel to St. Charles to take on the Lady Lions of Lindenwood University. Kick off is scheduled for 1pm
