(From MSSU Lions Athletic News)
Southern soccer had a 1-0 lead heading into halftime and added another to go up 2-0 in the second period, but could not hold on as the Emporia State Hornets answered with two goals in the second period and another one for the game winner in a 3-2 overtime victory inside Hal Bodon Field Sunday afternoon.
MSSU (1-8-2, 1-4) got on the board first after freshman Sarah Tatum moved past ESU's goalkeeper for the 1-0 lead to end the first period. Senior Brooke Ismael would add another goal eight minutes into the second period from outside the box that landed in the left corner of the goal for a 2-0 advantage for the Lions. Each goal was both players' first goal of the season.
Goalkeeper Luz Galindo played in all 91:21 minutes, making six saves in the process despite allowing three goals.
ESU (6-4-2, 2-2-1) found itself down 2-0, but began to chip away at MSSU's lead after a goal by Tanna Benfield broke the shutout in the 63rd minute and then was erased after Savannah Hallier tied the match up with a header in the 74th minute, sending the game into overtime (2-2).
Then in the first minute of OT, Hornets' Olivia Miller punched it in past the goalkeeper to complete the comeback victory for her team.
The Lions look to rebound as they hit the road for a 2 pm match with Nebraska-Kearney on Friday, Oct. 13, before taking on Fort Hayes State on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 1 pm.
